Swimming fitness programs in London

“Really good swimming school for adults, my teacher was Chantelle, I was a very nervous swimmer and she made me feel at ease instantly. Without her I wouldn’t have progressed in my swimming capability so fast. Thank you!”

“Lovely swimming school with excellent teachers. They take great care in ensuring children are happy and comfortable in the water before teaching them excellent technique in each of the four main strokes. The classes are a good size, allowing for individualised instructions where required and as they progress the children gain stamina, speed and confidence. They also provide feedback and updates on children's progress, moving them up levels when they need to or identifying areas in which they could improve. A great swim school that we'd highly recommend.”

“Why did I choose the International Swimming Academy? It all started when I visited my friend and I saw all her little daughters swimming like a dolphins! I was really impressed by ISA system and at that time I was only pregnant, but I knew I wanted the same for Pernille :) My Daughter started her lessons when she was 9 months old with just a trial lesson... and since then I saw how important is for your child to start early so they get confidence and get used to water. My daughter is now almost 2 years, and this is the best decision I made. I see how she improves every week, she enjoys every second of her lessons. She loves the environment, every teacher which are all wonderful! So really I can’t recommend them highly enough. Communication and management from the whole team, is perfect.”

“My daughter has attended the February crash course swimming lesson with Chloe and loved it. As she is nearly 4 years old, it was her first time having proper lessons and having her head under the water. She didn’t like it at first but Chloe gave her enough confidence by the end of the week to do it. It was very nice to have this first ‘intro to the water’ so hopefully she will get more confident while on holidays around the swimming pool. Thanks again Chloe for your patience with Victoria!”

“My daughter is just about to finish a 5-day crash course with Adam. She is a good swimmer generally - so for her it was more about refreshing technique. The classes are fun with lots of encouragement and praise from the teacher. It was a pleasure to see participants grew in confidence and improve day by day. My daughter was very excited to go every day thanks to Adam’s ability to engage and support the children at all stages. Thank you Adam and Angel Swim Putney for the opportunity.”

“I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Fulham Swim School. From toddler to 5 years old, Vasco is now a confident swimmer. Thank you for all the fabulous teachers and staff.”

“I am a professional nanny and have been taking children to Dolphins swim school for many years, including my own son. The instructors are fantastic and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. They allow make up classes for missed sessions due to illness etc, which is amazing. The changing rooms are well equipped and clean, and the soft play area is a nice bonus. Highly recommended!”

“I cannot speak too highly of Swimming Lessons London’s teaching techniques and teacher Theo in particular. I was past retirement age when I decided that I must overcome my long held fear of the water, and it was only a matter of a few lessons with Theo before I began to gain confidence. Theo was incredibly patient, helpful and encouraging and systematically worked on improving my capability, technique and stamina. It all goes to show that it’s never too late to start, no matter how old you are. Highly recommended for everyone.”

“I’d been contemplating swimming lessons for years and felt so nervous going into it but I’m so glad I took the plunge (pun intended). Lisa made me feel instantly at ease with her friendly manner and in less than 10 weeks I was already able to swim multiple lengths, something I never thought I’d be able to do. In my opinion I think this is an ideal place to learn to swim as an adult, being in hotels the swimming pools are already a really nice environment to be in and I would go in the evenings or weekends and the pools were always really quiet. The learn to swim programme is great too, the approach is simple all the steps are really methodical, not at all overwhelming and Lisa always took the time to explain why I had to do certain things i.e. to make the swim more efficient, not breathe in water etc. And honestly, it was so much fun! Couldn’t recommend Lisa and Turner Swim more.”

“Great facilities, and very appropriate for children. My 4.5-year-old is enjoying his swimming lessons a lot, and keeps asking when the next lesson will be. The teachers are patient and are fully aware of the different capabilities of the age groups they are working with. All in all, a fantastic experience, and I look forward to my kid continuing there in terms to come.”

“My children have been attending Korean Martial arts for the past 12 year. Never a reason to complain. The children are no longer children. Great service provide by Master Lee and Master Tae. Highly recommend”

“Blue Wave Swim has been brilliant with my three children. The teachers are kind and make swimming fun, but also experienced and coaxed my reluctant 3 year old into the water no problem- after the first lesson he now loves going swimming! All of my children are at different stages but they are all growing into really strong, confident swimmers. The facilities at Wimbledon College are convenient and you can watch them easily.”

“Great swimming school, very friendly helpful teachers, great pack with poster stickers and chart to encourage your child to progress with their swimming. My daughter loves having lessons here.”

“Beautiful lake and wonderful people, water is clean and fresh. There is a little beach for entry and a small food and drink stall. Toilets and small changing room are available indoors and there is an out door shower to rinse off.”

“I am so happy we found Love to Swim, they have the best swimming teachers so far we came across.I don't think there is enough stars in the world to rate Jose, I am so happy with his coaching style, he is so professional,knowledgeable, patient.His lessons are full of fun and balanced with discipline and he has achieved a miracle in a very first lesson with my child helping him to come over his fears.I would recommend Jose to anyone with any level of experience in swimming as they will not be disappointed by the amazing progress within a very short space of time.”

“Fantastic, small, local pool that's just been renovated so nice clean showers and changing rooms. Water"s warm and the Swim Kids team are great at what they do.”

“My son loves coming to seimming lessons with Aqua kidz with Charlotte. The staff are amazing and really great with the kids!”

“Fantastic pool, being used by Maidenhead Swimming club to train”

“Attended a child's birthday party event here. Was thoroughly impressed with the swimming pool, good size, clean, warm temperature, lots of floats and things for the kids to play with, excellent safety and a nice little room on the side where they cut the cake and had a little party. Overall really impressed. Oh and the grounds for the school are lovely too! Easy parking available as well.”

“Great pool can get busy at times and you can never tell when the busy times are unfortunately. Lovely spar with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi fully recommended”

“As a resident of DGV I have membership of the spa. I have had regular use of the pool for the past ten years. Wonderful staff, courteous and friendly. I have had mobility problems for 4 years and use the changing room for the disabled. They care for me as necessary. It is a very clean and well kept spa. Congratulations!”

“I really like this gym. Friendly staff and great space. I give it 5 stars and would like to see the following improvements made. -Take out the rusted lockers in the men's lockeroom by the shower and use that space more effectively -Rehabilitate the hot tub -one or two Weight Plate Trees because the machines smaller plates seem to disappear and get scattered. Highly recommend their gyms though. Great experiences so far.”

“Perfect for a good night’s sleep if you’re arriving late or have a layover. Easily accessible from T5 via bus 423 which costs £1.60. You pay the bus by tapping your contactless card on the reader when you enter. The hotel was clean, quiet and easy to navigate. Rooms were like every other Premier Inn. Sure, it may look a bit outdated but it’s safe, clean and does the job. I also felt safe as a female traveller, as you need to swipe your card at checkpoints to access various areas and a door chain is present by the room door. Additionally there’s a McDonald’s right next to the hotel, great for a cheap breakfast.”

“The best swimming pools! Just wish the gym was a bit better - install Olympic lifting platforms so we can drop weights safely please (a request for all Better Gyms)”

“Immaculate gym and friendly staff. I had a great customer service experience on my first visit at First First Bishopsgate enquiring about membership. Hiten, the Sales Manager, is professional and patient. He answered the questions and showed the gym to me. I was impressed at the hygienic environment. When I return to sign up, Hiten made the process seamless. Also, he helped download and set up the app for me. Each time I walk in Fitness First Bishopsgate the staff is warm and helpful. Highly recommend!”

“Staff at the door and around the pool are very friendly and helpful. The staff member with the red top and blonde hair gave me very useful information that improved my swimming ability.”

“Clean gym with great facilities. Love the sauna, steam room and pool. They also provide free towels. Super friendly staff too - thanks Conor for always being helpful and positive.”

“I've been going to the gym for a couple of months now and can't recommend it highly enough. As a previously active, though gym averse individual, I was initially drawn to the gym by the excellent swim classes provided by Mark at Learn to Swim Limited. I have since taken out a monthly membership to take advantage of the rest of the gym and am enjoying the lovely spacious atmosphere, the friendly staff and the incredible range of equipment available, providing endless ways to shape your training routine. Thanks guys!”

“The ta are always at hand to help with any enquiries. Always enjoy coming here as the atmosphere seems less claustrophobic then the other gyms.”
