We thoroughly look forward to our Saturday morning lesson. It’s been amazing watching our baby develop swimming skills and enjoy the water.

My daughter Piper absolutely loves her Friday swimming lessons. She has always been confident in the water, but has come on leaps and bounds since attending turtle tots and can now swim a small distance independently!

Jo is fantastic with my little girl, Amelie. She can be shy and sometimes lacks confidence, but Jo is always patient, supportive, and never makes us feel awkward. She thinks outside the box to keep Amelie engaged and comfortable, and we’re so grateful for her encouragement and kindness.

My weekly lesson with my grandson is our special time and we’re loving it. All the staff are extremely friendly & helpful and go out of their way to ensure we get maximum benefit & fun from the sessions without the pressure to master everything from the start. Have used successfully the catch up booking via the App which is a bonus.

Both my grandchildren have thoroughly enjoyed learning to swim with Zoe. Being able to start lessons so young is a real advantage to helping build water confidence. The Blue Lagoon is a lovely little pool. Zoe is warm and welcoming entertaining us with lots of different toys, games and songs. I would definitely recommend them.
