My son has weekly swimming lessons. I chose Swimtime as the groups are small and the instructor gets in the pool with them. He loves his instructor Sophie. She’s really encouraging and friendly. The lessons are quite expensive but I’m happy paying the price for how much he’s learnt and how much he loves going. More...

Swimming Lessons

This company got in touch initially to ask if I needed more information about available appointments and how to book. I replied, asking for more details and received no response, despite chasing with a follow-up email a few days later, and have still not heard back from them, so was unable to book any lessons.

My daughter Ava has been having lessons at The Village Hotel in Bury with Swimtime for the last few months and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Ava’s teacher Michelle is absolutely amazing! She takes the time to understand each child and their strengths, and makes the lessons so much fun they don’t even realise they’re learning! Ava is now such a confident swimmer it’s wonderful to see, and it’s all thanks to Michelle and Swimtime. More...

My little mermaid has her lessons with Michelle at the village in bury. She started as a water confident non swimmer wearing three armbands on each arm, she is now on her 4th set of lessons and no armbands! Michelle is an excellent teacher all the kids adore her. She makes the lesson fun and the kids dont even know they are learning because to them its just playing! Michelle takes the time to get to know the children and treat them as all individuals,giving support where needed and giving more independance also! The other teachers that have taken Michelle's class in her absence are all fantastic too, but got to say the kids really miss michelle when she is on annual leave! :) highly recommended! More...

Our daughter Beth has been having lessons with Matthew at the village, bury, normally I don’t take her, it’s daddy that goes, however, today I went to watch - WOW, Beth tells me she is practicing for her 100 metres, Matthew greets each pupil personally, and it’s plain to see, just how much they love the lesson, Matthew praises each child as they attempt to achieve what is asked of them. Beth swims each length using various strokes that Matthew has taught her, I was blown away with how well Beth can swim, I would recommend both Swimtime but above all Matthew, the time and patience has most certainly paid off, so thank you Matthew, you have made me a very proud mummy xx More...

Adele at the Dunkenhalgh on Mondays is great. The lesson is fun and enjoyable for the children and adults. I like how the focus of the class is learning to swim and be safe in water and ways we can help them as parents in the water, which I wouldn't know if I'd just taken her swimming on my own. My little girl is 21 months and loves it and her confidence is growing each week. More...

My daughter is 6 months old and absolutely loves her swimming lessons with Michelle! We were originally booked on to another class however after attending Michelle's lesson when we couldn't attend our usual class I decided to transfer her over to Michelle on a permanent basis. I cannot recommend this lady enough, she is very friendly, attentive and approachable. She takes into consideration each child's ability and ensures that each baby is learning at their own pace whilst also putting a lot of consideration into each individual baby's needs. Michelle is well organised and the lessons are delivered to the highest standard whilst being very fun at the same time! My daughter has learnt something new every week and I can really notice her development. I also think Michelle is great with parents too, she made me feel at ease from the start. These lessons have been a brilliant way for bonding with my daughter! This is our favourite time of the week! Thank you Michelle x More...

My son and daughter have been attending lessons with Michelle and are currently on their second term. Michelle is lovely and very approachable and instantly put myself and my children at ease. Michelle is clear in her swimming direction and is aware of each child’s limits of capability and puts emphasis on areas of development. My 5 year old daughter has gone from being a completely beginner to moving up classes within 2 terms with michelle. Both my children adore Michelle and it has been lovely to see just how much they have both grown in confidence and swimming ability in such a short space of time. Thank you Michelle. More...

Matthew has taught both my sons to swim and he tailored the lessons to fit their needs. Both boys did intensive lessons over a week (different times) and both finished confident and happy in the water. They both achieved 100 metres and loved their time with Matthew. Considering both boys have complex needs we have always been nervous of swimming lessons but Matthew has a real understanding and got the best out of our boys. I can not recommend him enough if you are looking for swimming lessons. More...

My daughter is 8years old and was progressing slowly with her lessons. She then had an incident that completely knocked her confidence. She used to swim 1 length, but now she will only swim by the wall and constantly stops to hold onto it. It was also becoming increasingly difficult to persuade/bribe� her to go. So I decided enough was enough and brought her to village Bury. Best decision I made. After one session with Matt she ended the lesson doing a length without stopping. Thoroughly enjoyed herself and can't wait to come back next lesson. She now for the first time ever has talked about bronze silver and gold! Matt was really fab. So glad I moved her. Can't wait to see how she comes on. Thankyou � More...
