Best places: Swimming schools in England

👍👍 When I first arrived at the industrial estate location I was a bit perturbed but on venturing inside it soon became apparrent that the Dolphin swim academy is excellent. The pool is heated, so perfect for babies, and the instructors have been fantastic, especially Donna. Lessons are a mix of songs a...

👍👍 Great place plenty of parking, the staff are friendly and polite and helpful, golf, driving range, gym, fitness classes, hairdressers, physio, swimming pool, cafe, bar, and lodges excellent place.

Landmark art deco outdoor swimming pool, built as a semicircle jutting into the sea in 1935.

👍👍 Kimberley's classes are amazing. Not only does bath babies provide sensory water based fun and massage for baby it also let's mums have a safe welcoming space to discuss the highs and lows of motherhood. Would highly recommend it to everyone. I'm so pleased we found bath babies, it the class we didn...

👍👍 We absolutely LOVE Angel swim! My daughter Gigi has been coming for the past month and I have already noticed such an improvements. Highly recommend

Public pool available for open swimming as well as beginner & baby lessons & other training.

😠 If you want full gym membership proper don’t come here. Times are restrictive because of the school, facilities for the gym are small, staff are nice but you’ll pay too much for adult membership for little gain. Nice swim baths but showers are awful, and the parking mainly after 3pm always awful.

😠 When it was a standalone gym it was good. Now you have to book everything through Your leisure it’s awful. Trying to book toddler swimming slots is almost impossible. Not only at Bluewave but every your leisure facility. Their website is almost unusable, every swimming slot says “sorry unavailable...

😠 Completely underwhelming - Close 3 x pools and give us one with reduced hours of operation and size. No structure to the pool - instead of 50meters we get 25m as it is divided into three with one section closed and the other used by a University. Then the two lanes do not have speed markings so a...

👍👍 The leisure centre is located quite centrally and is very well equipped. There is a steam, sauna, swimming pool and a very adequately stacked weights section. The staff are friendly and helpful. Stacey was really kind when she showed me around. The features are currently limited with the covid restr...

😠 No time slots in swimming pool for regular working people. Mornings and evenings are full as is only a quarter of pool available to use. Weekend only one slot, and now leisure swimming cut in half

👍👍 My beginner snorkelling diver course was with Anya and Nicole, two excellent instructors with a lot of passion for marine ecology, teaching and safety. We got to see much marine life and learn about them at the same time in a snorkel group with lots of fun. They made sure to go at a safe pace for ev...

Leisure pool with 5 water slides, rapids and pirate ship, plus sauna, spa and steam room.

😐 Not too impressed with this place. Swimming times are ignored as instructors always run over the class before. The public wear shoes around the pool, and so there's regularly mud around the changing rooms and to the pool. Showers rarely work, either at all, or only for very short stints e.g. 10s. Ru...

😠 AVOID THEM! Although the contract states that you only need to give one month's notice if you want to terminate it, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. They informed me that I have been a member for 3 months already and asked why I didn't say anything during the first 2 weeks (I was hoping my...

Large fitness center featuring a climbing wall, pools, waterslides & group classes, plus a cafe.

👍👍 Excellent 1 2 1 tuition.. Being an adult learner can be embarrassing but this type of tuition removes the stigma. This place should be the first choice for any swimming tuition.. you won't be sorry..

👍👍 We were very lucky to be able to come and spend a lovely Saturday at Purple Dragon. It was truly amazing! The attention to detail and the thought that has gone into making this club what it is, is exceptional. All the toys are sustainable and wooden - not a coloured moulded plastic toy in sight. The...

😠 Awful place! My son has been swimming here for 2 years! If he's not being pulled along he's walking across the pool and the teachers are telling him he's swimming! Lessons cancelled and they didn't tell me until I got there, manager is rude and when proven wrong she just ignores you, I've complained...
