Slava not only boosted my confidence in the water in a brief period, but also offered valuable insights and guidance on refining my swimming techniques, always with exceptional patience. I fully endorse Slava and the 3S Swim School to anyone eager to enhance their swimming skills or find the motivation to improve. Big thanks to Slava and the team!

Tanya is an amazing instructor

Tanya is an amazing instructor. Both my children have developed water confidence in a structured fun environment. They wouldn't have progressed as far anywhere else.

Amazing swim school my daughter has been going for years and has completely thrived with swimming. We had tried many a group sessions at other pools but these were not a success. Tanya and her instructors make the whole swimming lesson tailored to the child and their needs.

Absolutely brilliant swim coach and trainer for children. We have been with these guys for over 2 years with our son and now daughter aswell after being fedup of the slow progress at the local community pool and class. Tanya is kind, warm and firm when needed to ensure everyone gets the best from every session. Tanya has gotten our son to level 6 and our daughter is well on her way to completing level 4, despite having a huge fear of water. Tanya works so well for us because she lives and breathes the technicality of swimming and knows how to translate it into a fun learning experience for children. If you are serious about getting your child to swim then it's more than worth the investment. Highly reccomended.

What a fabulous experience! My daughter really enjoys her lessons with Tanya.

Tanya is patient, funny and thoroughly engages the children during the lesson. We have seen a marked improvement in our daughter’s skills. Most importantly, my daughter loves the lesson and looks forward to the sessions with Tanya.

I throughly recommend 3S Swimming School to all.

Tanya has been absolutely incredible with our two girls! In just a few months, they’ve learned more with her than they did in years elsewhere. Her private pool provides the perfect setting for focused, high-quality lessons, and her expert teaching style means there’s real, visible progress every single week. We couldn’t be happier — highly recommended!

Very pushy about payments and bookings.

Very pushy about payments and bookings.
No refunds for cancelled sessions, even with 2 weeks notice.
One of our sessions was cancelled with less than an hours notice by the instructor, but flexibility clearly does not apply in the other direction.

We are sorry you feel this way. To be clear lessons are booked in blocks and it is made very clear that they cannot be cancelled as the pool hire and instructors time are committed and we are unable to sell random lessons at less than one weeks notice. It is true that we were forced by unavoidable circumstances to cancel one lesson but as we took responsibility for this and rearranged it at our own cost we beleive our position is both fair and consistent.

Crash course for beginner

My son was very nervous of even getting his face wet initially but by the second day of his course he was a different child! He flew through the course and the change in confidence has been amazing. Tanya was a fantastic teacher, patient and kind, my son told me he felt safe with her, which as a parent is paramount.

I would recommend 3S to anyone, well worth the money to see your child grow in confidence.

Tanya

My daughter started swimming with Tanya around August .
She is 5 years old and she was scared of water . Tanya has helped her a lot and now she is already going towards stage 4 in just a few months . Tanya is a great teacher and if you want your kid/ yourself to improve your swimming or learn to swim I definitely recommend 3s Swim School.
Also 2 times she was doing her lessons with another teacher because her teacher was not well, and both of them were amazing .
I couldn’t recommend 3s Swim School enough and specially Tanya .

Great swimming school

Our son is coming on leaps and bounds at 3Swim. He loves his instructor Alina who is really good with him. He's got his confidence in the water and she is great with him. I would recommend them to any parent.

Hi Robert,
thanks for the lovely review. Alina is very pleased with his progression too, and looking forward to seeing you all next time!

Great results

The 3S Swim school teachers have achieved real results with my two daughters. When we started out earlier this year, both had a real fear of putting their faces in the water and my 5 year old wouldn't even get in the pool. With a mixture of encouragement, patience, persuasive techniques, all delivered with kindness and good humour, the girls have come a long way. They both enjoy their lessons now and the oldest one is swimming without a float. The lessons are expensive but the one to one attention and progress they have made really makes them worth the cost.

Hi Jenny,

Great Swim School

I was trained by Slava, who helped build my confidence in the water throughout a short amount of time. Slava provided feedback and knowledge to help improve swimming technique, while maintaining great patience. 100% recommend to anyone looking to find the motivation to improve their swimming or enhance their abilities. Thank you Slava and the 3S Swim School!

Excellent Swim School

My two children have been taking swimming lessons at 3's for around a year now and have come a very long way from their initial fear and inability to swim. With the instructors' patience and persistence, they are now confident in the water and under supervision can swim short lengths without the need for arm bands or floats. I am very happy with 3's attitude and approach, I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to build confidence and skill for their children learning to swim.

Exceptional!

I really don't know where to start with my recommendation for this absolutely phenomenal swim school! I can't recommend them highly enough! Staff are the loveliest, most helpful team you could ever hope to find, always going above and beyond to help. The swim teachers are absolutely superb. They are positive, vibrant, pleasant and simply exceptional. My 2 children have absolutely loved their lessons over the last few months, and have made such beautiful friendships with their 2 amazing swim teachers, they never stop talking about them! My children have learnt so much, my son in particular has gone from a cautious nervous child in the water initially, to now being in his element in the pool. Teachers are kind, thoughtful, fun and highly skilled. Locations were a bit further out from home, and swimming days in the week, on a school day were always busy, but it was well worth it! We will really miss them and are forever grateful. SK, mum to A&A

Fecility is great and very quiet (not busy with lots and lots of kids) and come with changing room, shower, toilets and observation room. Instructors are professional, hardworking, dedicated and passionate. My 2 kids are learning swimming for the first time. Both are enjoying 2 to 1 sessions allot. There are 2 instructors both mature females don't waste time and always in pool ready. I found instructors are very friendly , playful and at the same time focused too. Management is very helpful and always keeps us updated. I will strongly recommend to parents who wanted their kids to learn swimming right first time without wasting time. Other parents I have met had some horrible experiences in past and they discovered 3sSwim is right place for their kids to learn swimming and be water confident.

Good communication with the organisers. Excellent coach Arvid. Would be better if I could get professional standard certificates. But the training is very good.

Thanks a lot for your review and your feedback. At the moment we are not giving certificates (if you would ask we can provide you with one) as we are preparing to have our own certificates and testing our new system and lessons plans to launch everything together.
Hope that helps.
