Me and my friends love Mini swimming- we hire the pool as a private group session hire on a Thursday for us and our babies. Sam the instructor is so knowledgeable and friendly, and really helps you out if you need a baby soothed in the pool! I always come out feeling as though the babies have enjoyed the session, and Sam takes the time to feel as though you're doing something new each time, even if reinforcing something already practiced. In my opinion the prices are reasonable for the sessions and the facilties are clean, tidy and have enough room to change with your baby. Hannah Palmer

Amazing experience with Mini Swimming for my baby’s first swimming lessons! A great variety during each lesson and lovely support from the instructor Sam who engages with the little ones so well. Not only is my little one learning new skills, I am also becoming more confident with a baby in the water. The pool is lovely and warm and the facilities are great. 5 stars, highly recommend!!

Mini swimming is a great place for kids to have swimming lessons. Even the tiniest of babies will be warm, as the water is toasty, and the air temperature is so warm also. Even on the coldest of days, my boys are always warm and absolutely love their lessons and their wonderful teachers.
