Seriously FUN Swimming Schools Reviews 363

Our two children used to swim with seriously fun around a year ago and they swam for around 1 year until the sunday morning sessions became difficult to manage.

We started up again last week expecting the same expertise ad instructions from the teacher - who we are assuming are well qualified and able to teach children swimming by correcting their mistakes. What a mistake this was! the european lady with very little english and an abrupt tone was watching the clock the entire time, she did not instruct the children when they made mistakes and just kept telling them to do lengths. One poor girl had the wrong technique in breast stroke and was not corrected at all. Lengths and lengths is what the poor children did and they were not corrected for technique the entire lesson. The lesson should have started at 19.05 and the staff were busy chatting so the lesson started at 19.09 instead. When being taught to 'dive' one young lady kept on performing a belly flop and the european lady with broken english never corrected her and the poor girl made the same mistake 3 times! to make matters worse the 'teacher' was physically pushing the chidren in - what a terrible technique - should we not be filling children with confidence and the correct skills to teach diving? This lesson would have been a fail if it was observed, and it was a stage 7 lesson where swimmers really need to develop their techniques well in order to prepare for competitive swimming. I used to swim for the county so I know what effective teaching looks like. Standards have really slipped and this looks like nothing more than a business model - designed to make money. I carefully approached the teacher to make her aware of my concerns, she was loud and brash and screamed 'change the teacher, you don't know what you are talking about' upon further research I found when recruiting, the company state " No qualifications required - You don’t need years of experience or any previous swim teaching qualifications to teach with us." how shocking! this is the reason corrections were not made to the mistakes children made during the lesson. It is sad because the previous team were passionate about teaching, worked hard at every opportunity to ensure the children get access to outstanding teaching. I voiced my concerns over the poor standard of teaching and I was sent an email this morning stating my children have been removed from lessons! When a parent has serious concerns about the safety of children in the water (pushing children in when diving!) they are silenced. Extremely sad, avoid this place if you want your child taught properly and your views listened to. The centre attended was the one in Slough on a Thursday evening.

Instructors are v attentive and work with the children.

Excellent staff and thy care about teaching the children
Amazing classes

Great swimming lessons, my daughter is very happy and likes going to them

My son has been swimming here since 2019 and all of his teachers have been great. They are kind and patient with the kids

Excellent
Fun sessions by instructors who are passionate about swimming for kids
Well organised would recommend

Rather than write the review myself I asked my daughter and this is what she said “I like Seriously Fun Swimming because all of the teachers are really nice and they help me learn so that means it’s really fun”

The team at Lancing is absolutely brilliant. They deserve an extra star for their professionalism and the way they work with the kids. We can't wait for Wednesdays 😉

We’ve had a fantastic experience at this swim school! The way the lessons are organised is top-notch, and the staff is incredibly friendly. My daughter feels very comfortable with her instructor, and we’ve seen such great progress. We’re really happy we chose this school and highly recommend it to anyone considering swimming lessons. It’s definitely worth the price!

My daughter (5) loves her lessons and her swimming has improved greatly. The staff and lovely and great instructors. Would definitely recommend.

My son loves his swimming lessons. We tried several schools. But this is by far best for him. They are gently pushing children for progress, but by far more important for teachers is having fun and lots of positivity.

My 6-year-old son has been attending FUN for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches are patient, professional, and truly dedicated to helping each child progress at their own pace.

Over the last two years, we’ve seen a significant improvement in my son’s swimming skills and overall confidence in the water. The lessons are well-structured, and the staff ensures that safety is always a top priority while keeping the sessions fun and engaging.

The club is well-organized, with clear communication about class schedules, progress reports, and upcoming events. It’s been wonderful to see my child look forward to his lessons each week.

I highly recommend FUN to any parent looking for a supportive and professional environment to help their child learn and enjoy swimming!

Our son has been taking swimming lessons here for over two years, and we’ve seen great progress. The instructors are patient, friendly, and make learning fun. The pool is clean and well-maintained, and we feel confident having our child here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality swimming lessons!

Great teachers, great program. Super friendly, welcoming and supportive for the kids.

Our two girls have been with seriously fun for a few years and have worked through the levels.

The classes are well structured and staff brilliant.

Recommended.

Recently changed the set up so that the groups are 3 instead of 6. MASSIVE difference. My son was much more engaged, swam more and progressed much quicker.

Fantastic idea. My son loved it as he was previously spending a lot of time just waiting at the sides. Not anymore!

They have very friendly coaches. My son loves it and he looks forward for his lessons. My son improved his swimming skills very fast. I like that they look at the kids progress and to get the right timing to get to the next level. Definitely recommend.

Children spend more time hanging on the side of the pool waiting for coach. Coaches are generally school kids. There’s 6 kids to 1 coach so your 30mins slot could be condensed into an 8 minute 1 on 1 with a coach. The £58 is paid every month of the year, the lessons are not on during school holidays so £696 / approx 38 weeks = £18 per 30 min session.

I am very happy with everything. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about teaching swimming.

Pros:
- Highly Skilled Instructors – The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and great at working with children.
- Safe & Clean Facilities – The pool area is well-maintained, and safety measures are strictly followed.
- Personalized Approach – They tailor lessons to suit individual needs, making learning both fun and effective.
- Flexible Scheduling – Plenty of class options to fit different schedules.

Classes can fill up quickly, so booking in advance is a must.
