Why Parents Choose SwimStars
-
Swimstars gave my kids not just skills, but confidence and a lifelong passion for swimming. One of my daughters now has a teaching qualification and helps with swimming lessons at her university. I can’t recommend Swimstars highly enough, a fantastic team who truly inspire! ⭐️🌟
-
As a swimmer myself, seeing my son struggle with council swimming lessons and the constant use of armbands, we decided to give swimstars a go. What a world of a difference. Roll on a year or two not only is he safe in the water, Jack thrived and he’s now swimming competitively for a local club. Highly recommended!
-
The transformation in our girls’ abilities is like night and day. Zoe and her team of awesome teachers know exactly how to encourage the best out of their swimmers. Our girls love their lessons. They have learnt not only fabulous swimming skills, but also life saving knowledge on water safety whilst making new friends!
