    Part of the Sarah Harris Swimming School. Teachers and staff are outstanding. My children have been swimming with them for 8-9 years, and we love them. There are too many good things to write down in a review like this. If you're looking at them for the first time, come around, watch a lesson, have a chat with Elliot, Jamie or Nat. You won't regret.

    My daughter has been swimming with the Swim School in Bracknell since March last year. Starting in the beginner with parent classes, too nervous to let go of the sides. She has very quickly progressed up through the grades & is now in the Improver class, swimming confidently without any aids. The teaching staff at the swim school are beyond amazing, their style of teaching allows children to learn whilst having fun & they invest all of their time & effort into each lesson. They deliver the lessons with confidence, they’re structured but relaxed for the children, incredibly enjoyable to watch & have become a regular part of her life. She looks forward to going each week & despite her behaviour being challenging at certain times, the teachers remain patient & provide support. The round up at the end of the lesson is fantastic & provides us parents & children with communication regarding what they are working on & how they have improved, which helps when discussing the lesson at home & recapping what they have achieved. I can relax knowing she is safe & gaining life long skills. I am so glad I chose the Swim School to teach my daughter. Thank you so much!

    The team at the Swimarium are just brilliant. Both of my children swim there and, whilst they are very different when it comes to their feelings about swimming, they have both absolutely thrived. We've had many different teachers as they've progressed through the classes and all the teachers are fantastic, each with their own style and approach. I would 100% recommend the Swimarium to anyone looking for lessons for their children.

    For years we have been taking our children to swimmarium and we have tried many other swimming schools. We think their lesson style and duration is the best out there. Great teachers, currently with Adam and Elliot and very pleased with them. The showers could be better…

    Bracknell swimarium is amazing. Both my children were swimming independently within 3 weeks having never had any lessons before!! The instructors are great with the children and really give them confidence to keep learning new things. Thanks to all the team.

    Fantastic! Best teaching I have seen. All the teachers are engaged, kind, and supportive and the children respond well. Lovely atmosphere. Individual attention when necessary notwithstanding group setting. Well done!

    Absolutely love the swimming lessons at Swimmarium. Both of my kids are very confident swimmers now and with the guidance of the wonderful teachers, they are perfecting their technique in each class. The teachers and staff are super friendly, always ready to listen and help and overall awesome!

    Both my son 9 and daughter 7 have lessons at this pool. The staff are excellent. So engaging with the children. Nothing like how I remember my boring swim lessons. They are fun and give clear instructions. ........and teach kids to swim at the same time. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

    My daughter started with the Swim School in Bracknell around May 2021. She had been taking group lessons since a baby but still couldn't swim independently without aids, aged 7. Very rapidly, thanks to the brilliant "muscles" system, she was able to float, rather than sink, when swimming a length without aids. I'm not leaving this school and the brilliant team of teachers until she is a confident swimmer. Her progress has been amazing!

    Can't fault the teaching methods or the instructors at The Swim School. They're all super encouraging and do a great job of building up the confidence of all the children they teach. They do such a great job at acknowledging when a child has done something well or is working hard - I know that with my own daughter, this really helps in driving her and making her want to do better.

    After trying several other local swim schools, we hit the jackpot with The Swim School. They strike the perfect balance of first class instruction with brilliant teachers, small class size, and lots of fun for the kids. Both my children adore their classes here and have become strong, confident swimmers.

    An amazing swim school - by far the best in the Bracknell area. The teachers are well trained, professional and knowledgeable as well as being fun! It's well worth the wait to get a place. Highly recommend.

    There for school swimming lessons, great friendly teachers who have led to even the most nervous of non swimmers become more confident and enjoy their lessons.

    Took my grandson for his swimming lesson. Very well organised and covid safe. Staff are very good with children if all ages.

  • 5/5 sara l. 2 years ago on Google
    This school is amazing! Very unassuming from the outside and a very simple set up. But wow! The staff are incredible. They are all passionate and amazing in how they deal with the Kids on a personal level and working with them in line with their personalities! My son started with lessons in June this year, he was cautious and anxious at first. But his water confidence has grown, with him now being the first one to jump into the deep end and flying through the levels. Swimming now is one of his highlights of the week Thank you so much!

    Excellent teaching staff. So much more pro-active and involved than many. Some classes a bit full though with 8 in each. Would be better with 6 max.

  • 5/5 Lisa J. 6 years ago on Google
    My son's swimming has come on unbelievably since he started lessons here. Absolutely brilliant.

  • 1/5 Alex T. 6 years ago on Google
    Not great. Would definitely not recommend. Tucked me up on fees without informing me and lots of pupils with only 2 instructors. Made me very nervous seeing young pupils struggle in the deep end with no eyes on them!! Not good.

  • 5/5 greta u. 4 years ago on Google
    My daughter is swimming with swimarium for 2 years now. She enjoys very much and never says she doesn't want to go. Teachers are very creative and create exciting lessons for little ones. fast track courses during school holidays and half terms what a great idea in boosting your child's swimming skills! we will be continuing in attending swimming lessons there for years. the head office is so helpful and is very swift in replying back to my emails. Adriana also attends gymnastics there which is great! everything is at the same venue! Thank you. i have another little one as soon as she turns 3 she will also be attending swimming lessons.

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 4 years ago on Google
    Far and away the best swimming instructors we’ve ever used. Our 6-year old progressed more in a few weeks here than months at previous places. Very engaging, funny and kind teachers. Can’t fault it.

    My son has been taking lessons here for the last 5 years and loves it. He's gone from beginner all he way to advanced. The staff are amazing with the kids and you can see their passion for what they do.
