Customer's reviews

Fantastic outcomes for our kids' swimming development. Having spent a lot of time and money at other lessons, where the classes were too big and the teachers inexperienced or unable to give adequate attention to the students, we found Swim Camp. Within their first 10-week season our kids made, genuinely, more progress than they had in the previous two years with other providers. It cost a little more than we were paying previously, but the return has been ten-fold. It's so worth it. The management are a joy to deal with and the teachers are fantastic with the kids. Our kids are in their fourth season with Swim Camp now and looking forward to swimming with confidence on holidays this year and even asking how/where they can enter competitions!! Highly recommended. ~ David F
I signed up for the open water introduction at Seapoint Beach as I was not comfortable swimming in the open sea especially when out of my depth. I explained my concerns to Manuela. She reassured me that the coaches would teach me how to stay safe and become confident when out of my depth in open water. By the end of two sessions I was able to swim out of my depth without fear. I learned the techniques used when needing to rest in the open water, I was taught how to adapt the front crawl when swimming in the open sea. I learned all about the importance of siting at all times when swimming in the open water. Our coaches Sam and sabreal were very clear in their instructions. They were friendly and encouraging. They remained very close to us in the water at all times, helping us improve our techniques. Finola ~ Finola D
It was amazing experience for us as we wanted to put our 6 years old daughter into private lessons as she struggled with group ones. So booked our daughter for assessment and amazing Manuela very shortly during assessment came to us and said that our daughter doesn't need private lessons and she is welcome to join the group. Not sure what it was but she did seemed to be comfortable in the pool with her teacher. She felt sat ease with Manuela and her teacher Julia. And that's how our journey began. She loves going to her weekly classes and a when we signed her up to intensive camp she was delighted. Thank you so much Manuela and your team for giving one of the most valuable skills my daughter will learn . ~ Liudmila (
