My 4-year-old absolutely loves her swimming lessons! We really struggled to find a class where she’d feel comfortable without a parent in the water, but since joining Seriously Fun she’s been complete... See more

Great and fun swimming class
The instructors are efficient and fun with the kids. My son is enjoying his lessons. Even though it’s only 30 min he is learning a lot.

You will pay regardless if it school holidays, swimming pool is closed, your child is unable to attend If you try to cancel although you have paid for classes in advance you will not get a refund, nor will your child will also not be allowed to attend the class. Your consumer rights act 2015 gives you 14 days cooling off period for online purchase, serious Fun are in breach of your consumer rights by only giving you 7 days. My understanding of the law is that if you have paid for a service, it rightfully yours to enjoy regardless of any draconian term and conditions.

Very professional people and make every child make feel special.
Wonderful atmosphere.
My granddaughter loves going to her lessons. With one instructor only having a maximum of 6 children it feels like she really has a personal bond with the children.

Taken my granddaughter from day one her swimming is fantastic and so good to be able to go on holiday and swim beside her at 6 yrs old. she is taught water dangers and knows water can be dangerous at times.
This is one thing I think ever parent or grandparent should do for them.
A fantastic swimming school
I have found Seriously Fun swimming a fantastic class for my children and they have really enjoyed going. The instructors are great teachers and great with the children, encouraging them all the time. I would definitely recommend.
My children have been attending…
My children have been attending seriously fun swimming in Aylesbury for almost 1 1/2 years. I can say the progression is very slow, my young child still on 1st stage and my 10-year old one still stuck in stage 2. We could see that they are better off with others and are moved quickly onto a higher stage. They normally say they assess the children weekly, unfortunately with our experience that is not the case at all. Hope the management will look into it as we pay £58/month per child. Thank you.

Ashton @Thrope House Seriously Fun is an amazing with the children. He gives calm clear instructions and is very fun but still commands and keeps their attention. Keep up the good work.
Ashton @ Thorpe House Pool
I just wanted to give a big shout out to my daughter Daisy’s new swimming teacher Ashton at Thorpe House Seriously Fun Swimming School. He instantly had a really good rapport with the children and was encouraging and made the session fun. He also took a few minutes with each child to ask them the best part of their Easter holiday, which was so nice to see and my Daughter thought this was lovely as no one had ever done that before. She said he had a lovely smile. Thank you Ashton, keep up the good work.
Instructors keep changing
Instructors keep changing, showers at venue are cold. Considering paying almost double compared to a normal leisure centre, I am not that impressed unfortunately.

Excellent lessons
My child has made excellent progress through seriously fun swimming and enjoys every session. The lessons are fun and engaging and always have some form of game at the end to look forward to. It has been great that the groups are small and there are never more than 6 children, often less. I have been impressed with the patient and encouraging attitude of all the teachers my child has had. They have all got to know him and all the teachers are good at remembering all the children's names.
It hasn't always been easy to understand the level system and where exactly my child is at, as the levels are different to other swimming companies. Regardless of this, my child has made good progress.

Swimming review at Slough
The swimming teacher's put my children at ease and they really enjoy their lesson. Unlike other lessons I've tried in the past; they get a full 30 minutes of actual swimming and no time is wasted. There's ample parking at the venue and plenty of space in the changing rooms post-lesson.
