Testimonials

"My daughter was so nervous about being in the water after going to another swimming school that were incompetent and after a few weeks at Sarah Bates school of swimming the difference is incredible and she is now swimming without her armbands, something we thought would never happen. I can’t recommend this swim school highly enough, the care and attention they give to the children and the level of teaching is so fantastic it was by far worth the wait. Don’t waste your money elsewhere as I did! Thank you SBOS, you have made me one proud mummy"

"We have absolutely loved our classes with Sarah whilst living in Derby. My daughter was already a swimmer, but her confidence increased 10 fold. My baby son loves his lessons and knows exactly where he is when he turns up now. All of the staff are wonderful and the coffee shop serves great coffee/treats for after. It also provides a wonderful place for extended family to watch the little ones swim. Would highly recommend"

"My daughter absolutely loved her first toddler lesson with Sarah. Staff super welcoming, pool is beautiful and the session was brilliant. Thank you for making our first experience great"

"My niece has loved the Easter crash course. It's really helped to boost her confidence after a long break in swimming lessons. The lessons have been great, they've kept her interest and have pushed her to improve while keeping it fun. All of the instructors have been really great with her, we've been really impressed with the quality of the teaching and the lessons."

"Had the most amazing experience here today. Walked in with a very nervous little girl and walked out with a beaming ray of sunshine who didn’t stop chatting about how much fun she had, all the way home 🥰"

"We have just joined Sarah Bates Swim school with two children who have never entered a pool and I can honestly say their smiles, laughs and progression we have seen already is priceless. Sam in particular has the perfect manner, huge expertise and patience with our 7 Year old and we can’t wait for our youngest to try the Pre-School class on Friday! Thank you Sarah. You have a truly amazing business and the atmosphere is just lovely x"

"Well.....what can we say? Nothing but praise. Sarah and her team offer attentive, focussed, challenging opportunities for their swimmers. Our little lad has been swimming with Sarah since he was 2.5years and to watch him become proficient at such a tender age of 5 Is remarkable. We love your approach. thank-you team."
