Thanks so much Sarah and team Ethan loves his lessons and his swimming has made great improvements along with his confidence in the water. We are both really happy with the lessons and want to say an enormous thank you to you all x

This is the best web site ever + the best swim school ever if your child needs swimming lessons this is the ultimate place to go its great. Its packed with fun and games and fully qualifyed teachers.

My 3 year old daughter, Clara, has only had 5 lessons and is already able to float without armbands and demonstate the actions needed to start swimming (frog legs etc.)! Watching the other children, the stroke development and general water skills are very well taught and we look forward to seeing Clara develop into an excellent little swimmer. The lessons are superb and we couldnt ask for a better way to teach our daughter to swim. Thank you

I started swimming lessons with Sarah when I was 3½ at Allestree. I remember my first swimming lesson when I was too scared to get into the shallow end, but Sarah was very patient and kind. I love being in and under the water. I swim at Mickleover now and I have learned four strokes: breast stroke; front crawl; back stroke; and butterfly, and lots more. I have worked through all the awards and got my Gold in January 2008. My favourite stroke is front crawl, but when I first started to learn it, it was really difficult to breath – my teachers were really helpful though. Now I have much more confidence and swim many lengths in a session. I really enjoy the whole lesson but the best bit is at the end of the lesson when we get to jump in and practise diving.

I started swimming with Sarah when i was 2. She was great. I love swimming. While i was having lessons with Sarah i swam 50 metres when i was 3 and i swam 1 mile when i was 6. I got my Gold award at 8. I joined Kimberley Swim Club when i was 6. Last year i took part in a sponsored swim and swam 4000m.

My daughter was born with AVSD (Heart Condition) so was very small and behind in development. She has been coming to Sarah Bates for less than a year and already can swim without the aid of arm bands. It has improved her personal development and confidence , she now cant wait to go swimming of a weekend.

i think sarah bates school of swimmig is great ive been swimming with sarah for 11 and a half years now and ive learnd so much ! thanks mum love lucy x
