Brian is Magic!

Our son (2 1/2 years old) suffered from a major case of the water wobbles and wouldn't even so much as dip a toe in the water. Over 5 short lessons, Brian had him giggling, splashing, blowing bubbles and even swimming under the water- happily!
We are no longer dreading our family holiday and are confident that our boy will have a fab time splashing about.
The pool is clean and warm and the changing facilities absolutely suitable for small children.
We highly recommend lessons with Brian @ Swimming Class UK.

Great service from Swimming Class UK

Great service from Swimming Class UK. Steven was my instructor and within few lessons I was able to go from "absolute beginner", to feeling fully confident and comfortable in the water. I'd recommend the lessons to anyone at any level. Very friendly service from all!

My 7 year old son had lost his confidence in the water and disliked swimming. Bree has made a real difference to his perception in the short while she has been teaching him. He is now happy to go to the pool, and likes to show off the stuff he has learnt. There is a world of difference in his confidence levels in the water as well. Thank you Bree!

Bree has made such a difference to Elliott's confidence! He was reluctant to even participate in the lessons at first, but is ready to try the deep end next week. We never thought he'd make such quick progress.

I am of course very reluctant to say anything negative about one of my own children but I am forced to admit that my youngest son, age 5, is not always the most straightforward of characters to deal with - that is where Claudio has been brilliant - he has managed to build a great relationship with Louie which has meant great progress has been made. I would recommend Claudio as a swimming teacher - he exudes confidence and calmness!

I am so happy that a mum from school recommended Brian and his team. It has been a real investment in my little girl. She's so happy and confident in the water now and I wouldn't change her teacher Norbert for the world! He is patient, kind and she feels really safe with him. She looks forward to going every to swim with him every week - for about a year and a half now - and her progress at swimming is fantastic thanks to him. I feel very confident about her being in the water now and swimming independently. Probably the best money I've ever spent!

Steven and Brian have a wonderful way…

Steven and Brian have a wonderful way with children. My six year old did two intensive five day courses. She went from not being able to put her head under water to jumping in and going under the water and she's learnt how to float which in turn has helped her swimming. Everything was done so subtly and skilfully. I'd highly recommend them both if you have a child who has any fears about being in the water.

I would highly recommend using swimmingclass. Steven is a great teacher, very patient, good communicator and made the experience fun.
As a complete beginner, I went from zero to swimming in under 20 weeks.
I'd recommend a session at the barbican pool to conquer the deep end.

Good experience learning swimming with the team. Steven was my tutor and I really appreciate all his efforts. Brain is very prompt and accommodating.

Very competitive prices and I will surely return back for advance classes.

I would happily recommend them to anyone wanting to learn swimming! They alter the classes based on each individual needs and that's one of the best part to join them.

Happy Swimming all..

Our daughter is now a confident swimmer

We have been really lucky to access 3:1 swimming classes for over 3 years with teacher Brian at Swimmingclass. Our daughter started when she was 3 years old and has progressed from being very nervous of water to being a confident strong swimmer with good technique! Brian is an excellent teacher and the few times he has had to be absent, one of his other teachers has covered and this has worked really well. The facilities are great and our daughter really enjoys the lessons.

The best possible start for kids

It took me a long time to find reliable one-to-one lessons for my daughter when I chanced upon Brian's set-up. His teachers are brilliant, the venue is great - CLS girls school in Barbican. It's a nice pool with a deep end (so important when teaching kids). My daughter overcame a real dislike of swimming and turned, seemingly effortlessly, into a kid that LOVES it. I can't think of a better recommendation.
