“Mermaid swim academy is awesome! My 5 year old has been going since age 3 & she loves it. The small classes and beautiful clean sea water pool (with fabulous views) makes it a much better option than indoor chlorine pools, and the teachers are fantastic. A caring swim school that’s delivered results – I’ve now got a confident swimmer who loves the water :) thanks guys” – Lucy Atkins

“Jaiden had an awesome first time swimming in your mini squad this afternoon. His face was lit up and motivated again, enjoying his swimming and trying his best at what ever task you gave him. He was getting bored with his previous swim schools and spent too much time waiting his turn. Your squad kept him swimming, got his competitive nature switched on and eager to go back for me. Happy mum & son :-)”

“My 7 month old daughter had her first swimming lesson this morning. The whole experience has been so great with ‘mermaids swim academy’ . From booking when I was called to work out the best time for her lesson to today. The lesson was so one on one and she loved it (even though there were a few tears after submersion). I felt like she (and I) was so looked after and we can’t wait until next week!!!”
