Excellent Swim School

My daughter has been having lessons with Sue's Swim School for a number of years now. She has grown in confidence and made excellent progress. She is now a confident strong swimmer. She looks forward to her weekly lessons every week.
The instructors have always been lovely and professional, providing encouragement support and competent teaching skills at all times.
The communication is excellent and the team are very prompt to respond to any concerns or questions. The progress platform is easy to access and navigate making it very easy to keep track of your child's progress and badge collections.
I would highly recommend Sue's Swim School to any parents looking for local swimming lessons.

Positive thoughts

What i love about Sue’s swim school is my son who is 3.5yrs old feels safe enough around the teachers and looks forward to his classes every week despite only having three classes so far. He originally was at a different swim school and i would have to get in with him and he would cling onto me for dear life. Its great that there are only a certain amount of kids to a class so its more one-to-one. Moving my daughter over from her current swim class because of this and hopefully she can thrive just as much as my son.

Highly recommend

We’ve been with this swim school for two years now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the progress my kids has made. They has been brilliant—not only improving swimming , but also gaining confidence in a wide range of water skills like forward rolls, sculling, and diving, etc.

The staff are always friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive. They strike the perfect balance between making lessons fun and ensuring the children are learning and progressing at the same time. My child genuinely looks forward to every session.

Communication is another big plus—I always receive information quickly and clearly whenever needed. The online platform is also fantastic, allowing me to easily track my two kidsprogress and see them achievements over time.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUE'S SWIMMING SCHOOL!!!

High Quality Local Swimming Lessons

We’ve been with this swim school for three years now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the progress my child has made. Her development has been brilliant—not only improving her swimming strokes, but also gaining confidence in a wide range of water skills like forward rolls, sculling, and diving.

The staff are always friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive. They strike the perfect balance between making lessons fun and ensuring the children are learning and progressing at the same time. My child genuinely looks forward to every session.

Communication is another big plus—I always receive information quickly and clearly whenever needed. The online platform is also fantastic, allowing me to easily track her progress and see her achievements over time.

I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else and would highly recommend this swim school to any parent looking for local swimming lessons for their little ones.

It’s great to hear that your child has made such strong progress over the past three years, not just with her strokes but also with wider water skills and confidence. That all-round development is exactly what we aim to build in every lesson.

We’re really pleased that the team’s approach has come across as both supportive and enjoyable. Getting that balance right between fun and progression is important to us.

It’s also good to hear that communication and the online platform are working well for you. We put a lot of focus on making sure parents feel informed and can clearly see their child’s progress.

Thank you again for your recommendation and continued support.

We love Sue’s Swim School

Sues swim school has helped both of my children learn vital life skills and made them so confident in the water. When my daughter first started, she was scared to let go of the side of the pool and wanted the instructor next to her the whole lesson. She’s now swimming independently, goes under water and continues to achieve lots of different awards. The teachers are kind and friendly. Andy has been great with all feedback we’ve given and Sara is the best with admin queries we’ve had.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re incredibly proud to hear how far both of your children have come and it’s wonderful to know how much your daughter’s confidence in the water has grown — from holding the side to swimming independently and achieving so many awards is a fantastic journey.

Our teachers work hard to create a kind, supportive environment, so your comments mean a great deal to us. Thank you also for your kind words about Andy and Sara; your feedback will certainly be shared with them. We really appreciate your continued support and look forward to being part of your children’s swimming journey for many years to come 💙

Fantastic location & staff!

My son initially had a fear of water at age 7. Beginning his swimming lessons was a big leap for him and with the support of the staff (Paige) & team he was able to overcome this fear & equally the fantastic shower facilities gave him the opportunity to learn to cope with his challenges with water.

We recently moved him to a different location, but he did not enjoy it, which shows how great the staff at Cardinal Wiseman are. He has moved up a class and progressing fantastically which has brought tears to my eyes watching him. Being able to watch him has also helped him and is valuable for me as a parent.

Thank you all.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s a truly lovely review. We’re incredibly proud of how far your son has come, especially knowing that starting lessons was such a big step for him. Overcoming a fear of water takes real courage, and it’s wonderful to hear how the support from Paige and the team at Cardinal Wiseman helped him build confidence and progress so well.

It means a great deal to know that being able to watch his journey has been valuable for you as a parent too, and that his progress has brought such special moments. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Paige and the team. Thank you for trusting us with his swimming journey, it’s a privilege to be part of it 💙

We love Sues Swim School

We tried 3 different swim schools before finding Sue’s Swim School and none of them compare. My kids have grown in confidence, achieved awards/badges and have become strong swimmers. The teachers are great and really encourage the kids. Any questions I’ve had are always answered so quickly by Sara. She goes above and beyond to make sure the lessons work for us and I’ve managed to change days/times.

Absolutely fantastic swimming school!
Our children are with Sue Swim School about 4 years now and they just loving swimming days. Our son was struggling on the beginning as he isn’t really sporty child but he has made so big progress. They love to collect all the badges and certificates as well and they are so proud with themselves as we are as well.
Definitely great school to start your kids swimming adventure, highly recommended!
