Excellent, no-nonsense tuition
I've tried a few front crawl tutors but Stephen was the first to correct my basic - mental and physical - mistakes enough for me to be able to crack it.

aged non-swimmer
I've never been able to take my feet off the bottom let alone swim. As a 65 year old, I decided to see if I could do it and booked some lessons with Swimmingclass. After 12 lessons I can actually do it. The teaching is excellent - professional, rigorous but flexible. Highly recommended.

Brilliant swimming classes, totally recommended.
Had swimming lessons with Steven over the past few months and he was really brilliant. I never learnt how to swim as a child, and having tried a few adult group and one on one lessons in the past, I found the whole experience very frustrating and not very encouraging so I gave up each time. When I decided to set myself a new challenge for 2016, of taking part in a competitive swim, I had no choice but to find someone who could teach me how to swim! Luckily a friend recommended Swimming Class UK and from the first lesson Steven was great. He’s a really patient teacher, and broke everything down into stages and was happy to repeat the same thing over and over until I got it. The lessons have totally transformed my outlook on swimming, I really love it now, and it feels great not to be scared of the deep end anymore. I can’t recommend Steven enough, it’s clear that he loves his job and it’s so great to be taught by someone who’s so enthusiastic about what he’s doing.

First class service!
I started in October 2015..... Afraid of the water and drowning. But, Steven and Brian were fantastic.... Helped me overcome the fear and by lesson 2, I was swimming on my own.
I cannot thank them both enough for working with me, being patient and understanding my fears as an individual. I booked 10 lessons originally and feel so much more comfortable... And have even gone away on holiday and been able to swim on my own which was the best feeling ever. I will be returning for further lessons very soon.
Steven and Brian are the best teachers... And should be acknowledged for their great work!

Excellent teachers
My 10year old started having swimming lessons with Swimming class over 1year ago. Initially we had Steve and then Brian. I am absolutely delighted with the lessons they give. My son has improved a great deal and is now enjoying swimming. They have been kind, patient, and enthusiastic with him. All this, as well as teaching good technique. He has tried different teachers and swimming schools in the past, but this has been by far the best. It is a pleasure to see my son's swimming technique improve as well as him having fun during the lessons. I would strongly recommend them.

Superb
For the love of the water I wanted to be able to move in it. Stephen one of the trusted instructors gave me the drive to learn the basic never looked back since.
It got to a stage I joined the gym for a few months on a religious bases, morning swim then off to work, evenings also as he stated practise.
As a martial arts I understand the best swimming class in town hands down. Keep the good work..
