What People Are Saying about Dolphin Academy from our August 2023 Survey…
“We have been using Dolphin Academy since doing the holiday programme back in December 2021 and joined up permanently next available spot. The various teachers my son has had in his time have always offered friendly & focused lessons right the way through. He has progressed from not confident in the water at all through to jumping in the deep end and absolutely loving the environment. Progress reporting on the portal and monthly newsletter keep us up to date with what is going on. If you’re looking for a swim school stop looking as this is the only one you need.”
— Dad to swimmer aged 8.
“I’m so blown away with how confident my boys have become in the water. They are progressing so well with their instructors despite having little to no swimming experience in the beginning and I couldn’t be more pleased!.”
— Mum to swimmers aged 5 and 7.
“Our kids have been swimming since they were babies; however, not until they came to Dolphin Academy did they actually gain the skills they needed to swim correctly and have the ability to save themselves in a pool. Dolphin Academy is an investment and it is paying off.”
— Mum to swimmer aged 10.
“I have tried other swimming schools and found Dolphin Academy to be the best overall - in general the lessons are great, the kids aren’t bored, kids progress much more quickly, numbers of children in a class allows more teacher to child focus, teachers are high quality and have appropriate skills. It is a nice environment and the school looks after us in terms of juggling kids at different abilities trying to make it easier for me putting them on the same day and where possible the same time. Great for a busy working mum!”
— Mum to swimmers aged 7 and 11.
“Coaches are friendly, patient and have a variety of strategies to support any learner to progress at an efficient time. My son's confidence and skills have increased an incredible amount in such a short time which I accredit to both the coaches and the holiday programme approach.”
— Mum to swimmer aged 5.
“We love Dolphin Academy. The organisation and comms are great and my preschooler loves his instructor; she is very patient with him and it’s great to see his water confidence grow every week”
— Mum to swimmer aged 4.
“I have 4 children in swim lessons and they all absolutely love it! Making great progress at their rate without pressure to complete a level by a certain time and advancing when ready. Love that lessons continue through the holidays - great for consistency. And such friendly staff.”
— Mum to swimmers aged 3, 5, 6 and 8.
“My son has come leaps and bounds in his short time with the Dolphin Academy. It has given him water confidence and skills he needed to get in the water this summer.”
— Mum to swimmer aged 5.
“Our children have gone from being scared to get their faces wet to absolutely loving the pools, learning backstroke and freestyle while having great fun along the way. The teachers have been patient but have managed to get results far beyond what we ever expected. We highly recommend the Dolphin Academy to anyone”
— Mum to swimmers aged 7 & 9.
“Dolphin Academy was highly recommended to us by a friend, we are so glad we enrolled! The lessons are top quality, my child’s swimming techniques have vastly improved. The teachers are in the pool with them and quickly correcting mistakes. They get a lot of practice in the lesson too. The team is very friendly and my child loves Dolphin Academy! Very impressed!.”
— Mum to swimmer aged 7.
“Dolphin Academy has grown my children’s water confidence beyond belief. They strive for all their students to have the best experience, and have gone above and beyond to get my two children in the water. Their program content is exceptional and I’m so thrilled with how quickly my kids skills have developed. I highly recommend Dolphin Academy to EVERYONE.”
— Mum to swimmer aged 3 & 5.
“We love Dolphin Academy! They have nailed the lesson content and the way it’s delivered. The small classes are great, and as a parent I like that the coaches are still in the pool with the kids, manipulating their bodies to SHOW them what to do - that’s how kids learn. All coaches we have had have known how to talk and get through to kids, and seem to be genuinely passionate about teaching kids to swim.”
