‘Michelle was awesome, he was absolutely buzzing (and shattered) afterwards and he's already found a spot in his room to keep his swimming gear ready and packed for next week. I cannot thank you and Michelle enough. We definitely picked the right place and people!’ (DW, 2026)

Thank you for trusting us with your children’s swim journey - we’re honoured to be part of it.

M loved his swimming lessons & Michelle was incredible with him. I can’t tell you how much it meant to us & how much of a relief it was that Michelle just got M immediately (JM)

Nothing is more rewarding than witnessing the transformation from lack of confidence to pure enjoyment & enthusiasm.

As one parent recently shared:
“She’s like a different child! We’re on holiday and she’s absolutely loving the pool—diving, jumping, and swimming so well!”

[J9 Swimming @BarclayJanine]

Really touched by the effort that has gone into these hand-made thank you cards. I’m going to miss these swimmers so much ❤️. Enjoy your summer!

So proud of ‘my swimmer’, Helen Barrios who is nationally ranked and off to compete at Regionals. Swim fast!

Not going to lie: this pool is pure bliss. 31.7 degrees - just perfect on a hot summer’s day!

...and that's a wrap! In the words of just a couple of our parents: ‘The lessons were excellent and Sam was a fantastic teacher. Delighted with the kids’ progress.’
‘M throughly enjoyed the crash course, and has made great progress!’
Please contact us for lesson details.

We are too modest to brag - so will let our parents do it for us instead:
L absolutely loved her swimming with Michelle, Sam and Gaby. I was amazed by her progress. L wanted to stop swimming as she wasn’t enjoying it anymore. She now says she loves it and wants to carry on.

Fab feedback this week. Thanks for messaging me:
'She exceeded my expectations; she is a very good teacher. On a scale from 1 to 10, she is an 11, not just a 10—truly amazing. A. was very happy'. (AEB)
'Omg! he is so happy! P told me, Michelle was brilliant!' (WW)

Was busy teaching in the pool, when exciting messages dropped into my inbox. This talented little swimmer who only turned 8 years of age late in the summer, was competing for his school. Delighted to hear about his resounding success. It’s all about technique!

To all our ducklings, big and small, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy Chanukah!

Last week of term and we are riding the inflatables!

And this is why we love teaching swimming:

Thank you for your assistance this last week, the girls had a fabulous time and have made loads of progress (TD)

A. loved it and Seb was so engaging with him, pushed him when he needed it and made him feel confident-thank you! (DK)
