Fantastic instructor, my daughter progressed so well with her. She's been super patient and gets straight down to it so they really get the most of the lesson time. My daughter loves her lessons and it's never been a chore getting her to go!!

We have been absolutely delighted with our teacher in Clapham. We began lessons when our daughter was just four months old, and the progress has been incredible. Today, she is completely confident in the water — happily jumping in, diving, and thoroughly enjoying her swimming sessions...

Alix

The girls have absolutely loved their week long summer course. They’ve come on so much and the coaches were brilliant, dedicated and very encouraging! Thank you SwimWay!

Laurent

We have been with SwimWay for several years now, currently at Kew Gardens Pool. Our son has autism and loves swimming there, not just learning to swim but having lots of fun too. It's a great venue and the instructor is excellent with lots of enthusiasm (and patience!) with our son...
