SwimWay Swimming School Reviews 291

We have been going to Swimway since the beginning of the year and we started with very little experience. Ronaldo has been great with our 2 boys, juggling their different abilities and personalities with ease. It has been great watching them getting better every week with Ronaldo’s approach of encouragement, guidance and fun.

Ronaldo is a wonderful teacher. Patient and encouraging - he has helped our daughter’s swimming improve greatly. Would highly recommend him!

My daughter has had a few swimming teachers since we started with SwimWay, and Ronaldo has really made the biggest impact - in quite a short time, she's able to swim a little way on her own which is a huge thing for her! Ronaldo is kind and patient,but determined to get the best. Thank you!

My son started recently with Ronaldo and I am very impressed with the care and quality of Ronaldo's sessions. Coming from a different swim school, I can already see improvements in my child after a couple of sessions with Ronaldo. I can't recommend him enough.

The organisation of Swimway is excellent. In the pool Ronaldo and Amanda give both my daughters fabulous attention, instruction and motivation. The girls love their weekly lesson. Would recommend to anyone seeking visible improvement in their child’s swim development.

Ronaldo has been an outstanding swim instructor for our son. He is incredibly skilled, patient, and compassionate, always making lessons feel positive and encouraging. Thanks to his support, our son’s confidence in the water has grown hugely, and his swimming ability has improved so much. We’re very grateful and would highly recommend Ronaldo to anyone.

My 5.5 year old son Mali was very uncomfortable with water and he didn't even like getting water on his face.
But from the very first day, the first minute, seeing him wearing goggles made me very happy and surprised. Sandro is very calm, patient, gentle, reassuring and extremely fun. His communication with children is incredibly good !
My son Mali was so so happy that we extended the lessons for two weeks instead of the one week we had planned.
I can't express our gratitude and admiration for Sandro in words. We can’t wait until the next crash course with him!

Highly recommend the baby classes. Especially wanted to send a big thank you to Ana, she was a wonderful teacher and both me and my baby feel a lot more confident in the water!!

Lovely teachers but this is a money making machine. The learning is incredibly slow and very technical. My daughter has gone for >1 year and still can’t swim properly. Feels very expensive for what the kids actually learn.

Chris is a wonderful instructor! My son immediately built up his confidence in water in the summer. This is incredible for me and my son . Thank you Chris!

My 3 year old daughter did a crash course with Richardson at Holland Park, and I have rarely seen better teaching of anything. He quickly understood her completely, and guided her from terrified of getting water in her face at all (even at bath time) to swimming independently in four days. She had a wonderful time, and has carried her learning forward into her weekly classes with (the utterly fantastic) Natalie. She adores them both.

Instructor -Chris Nikiforos
My son attends swimming lessons at SwimWay Wimbledon. The facility is always clean and well maintained. Most importantly, his instructor Chris Nikiforos is outstanding – professional, patient, and truly skilled at teaching children. Thanks to Chris, my son has gained confidence in the water and looks forward to every lesson. Highly recommended!

I have taken my son first time to a swimming course, he spent holidays at sea but was not comfortable keeping his head under water. he is 5 years old , Athina is the instructor. She is amazing with kids , knows how to relax them, teaches in a playful manner, keeping them engaged and focused.Even after 5 lessons my son started being comfortable keeping his head under water and in summer he excelled with the skills he learned. We signed up again for the whole term, look forward to it. The only improvement recommended is change of usable- plastic or boards in the pool for hygenie purposes.

My four year old daughter has attended the holiday swim camp this week for four days at Kew Gardens and we are absolutely delighted with her progress! Thanks to Dan and Ari for making her feel instantly comfortable in the water. After two years of desperately trying to get her over her fear of water, within four days she’s confidently trying to swim under water and having fun! We used to dread taking her swimming as she didn’t enjoy it and it was stressful for all of us, but now we can’t wait to go this weekend to practice all she has learned. Thanks so much and looking forward to her regular lessons this term. The facilities are also fantastic - very clean.

My son started swimming with Tiago at Kew Gardens last term. My son was always excited for his swim lesson. Tiago was friendly and supportive; he did a great job getting my son to push harder and to remember the mechanics of each stroke. As a parent, I was happy to see my son become more water confident. Thank you!

Our 5-year-old son is taking swimming lessons with Chris at Kew Gardens Pool. Chris is an amazing teacher; he gets on extremely well with our boy, and the progress has been really good. The facilities are great, too! We highly recommend him.

Athina
Fantastic instructor, my daughter progressed so well with her. She's been super patient and gets straight down to it so they really get the most of the lesson time. My daughter loves her lessons and it's never been a chore getting her to go!

Jon was fantastic with our five-year-old son - he got him swimming in just five 30 minute sessions. A fantastic instructor, we’d definitely like him to teach our son again - superb manner, just the right balance of firmness and enjoyment and really positive throughout. The company is excellent - communicated clearly and the facility at Kew Gardens is superb for learning.

Eri was absolutely fantastic with our Son at the Kew pool, he thrived in just a week and she was so patient and helpful with him - we will be back!

We have been absolutely delighted with our teacher, Jordana, in Clapham. We began lessons when our daughter, Laura, was just four months old, and the progress has been incredible. Today, Laura is completely confident in the water — happily jumping in, diving, and thoroughly enjoying her swimming sessions. Jordana’s warm and caring approach makes every lesson a joy. She has a wonderful way with babies, always remembering their names and the little stories we share with her, which makes the experience even more personal and special. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
