Swimming Nature has totally turned around our son's fear of the water-- now he can't wait for his turn in the pool every week! His prior experience of swimming lessons with a rival children's swimming programme left him panicking and crying at the thought of ever having to go into the pool again. Swimming Nature has changed all that. After only 1 lesson with Swimming Nature, our 3 yr old went from being terrified of the water to asking every day thereafter if it was his day to go to the pool again! By the following week he was still so eager for his next lesson that we decided to take advantage of his newfound enthusiasm and see if we could arrange extra lessons to put his water phobia firmly behind him. The regional manager was extremely supportive, letting us know when there were extra slots available during the week to pick up extra lessons. He also coordinated the different instructors so that all were familiar with our son's situation before he had his next lesson with them. Though he had a different instructor for each of the extra lessons, it was seamless for him and he loved it-- and the extra attention from a new person each time! We are amazed at the progress he made with Swimming Nature in just 4 lessons at the Marriott Regents Park. We are definitely converts to their approach and the attention each instructor gives each individual child. It has changed everything for us and our son!

All 3 of my children have had lessons with Swimming Nature and we couldn't be more happy. My son, who we had all but given up on ever swimming (mobility issue) had 3 lessons with Swimming Nature and bingo, he loves swimming now. My girls cant wait to go to their lessons and the younger of the two is putting herself forward to join the school swimming team.....Olympics here she comes! I am very happy and can see the weekly progression, the instructors make the children relaxed and you can see the commitment on their part.

Our son has a minor disablity but after many swimming lessons with two diff swimming teachers we had almost given up. Then a friend told us about swimming nature and we thought ok give it one more go..... Bingo they were amazing so diff to other classes my son is now a confident swimmmer and we r over the moon. We ended up with our other 2 girls taking lessons and am so happy about the outcome. Well worth the money and very happy.

My son (aged 6) has enjoyed learning to swim with Swimming Nature for about 3 terms. The pool in Finchley is lovely. It's well heated and very clean. The tutor gives individual attention and is very friendly. He gives us regular updates on our son's progress. I was surprised to read the negative reviews as our experience has been very good.

My children has been learning with swimming nature for the last 2 and a half years and I am very happy with everything. The teacher we have is fantastic with both of my children (9 years old girl and a 5 years old boy) and I am very happy with their progress. I have never experiance any negative issues and would deffinetly recommend them to anyone who wants their child to learn swimming confidently and well.

Swimming Nature don't teach like anyone else! They teach your child to swim like an Olympian. When we go on holiday people are very impressed as they can swim very confidently. All the parents at my school sign up and the staff are all good. We have had teacher changes and sometines this is not ideal, although all have been wonderful and so pleasant and teach to a very high standard. I am from US and there everything is competitive and its nice to see a company setting goals for the children and encouraging them in sport. Very positive experience and would not hesitate to recommend.

Just had my first baby lesson at the Hilton on Edgware road yesterday and it was great. The whole experience was made better by the fact the pool is chlorine free. My son and I found the lesson to be fun but constructive. Was a little apprehensive at first because of my son’s history of not enjoying the pool on a recent holiday, but was pleasantly surprised how the lesson went. Experience so far with the service and lesson has been fantastic - cant wait til next week

My son is taught in the Victoria, Queen Mother centre every Saturday. He is now 5 and it is amazing how much he can do. When he first started he did not even go in the water! and now he know's how to float, kick and be confident under the water. I have found the instructor excellent, ensuring he is confident all the way and having fun. The service has been very good I found. I would definately recommend.

I have to say that my daughter has truly excelled with swimming nature, i am so pleased with her progress she has come such a long way. I have to say that honestly it does depend on the instructor as there is a lack of consistency. The organisation as a whole is very money focussed with endless texts, calls and e-mails however the quality of teaching is second to none and i can understand why my daughters instructor is always fully booked.
I have been to see quite a few different swim schools but have to say that the elegance and gracefulness that my daughter swims with is purely down to the high standards of teaching. Yes, you pay the premium for it and the progression is initially slow because they concerntrate on technique. Once they have learnt the technique they progress really quickly.
As a parent i would strongly reccomend this swim school however, it does depend on the teacher.

I joined up to Swimming Nature 6 months ago with my son and I cannot recommend it more. Everyone including the instructors are extremely friendly and provide a fun environment. Through repeating the skills learnt over each week my son has come along leaps and bounds and loves the water.
