My two children are with Alpha Aquatics at Benfield, and they have both made so much progress. The small classes and teachers being in the pool make such a difference for them, and I would definitely recommend them!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a wonderful swimming school. I have been going to adult swimming lessons for several months and I’m really pleased with the instruction given at this school. I previously attended another swimming school and I’ve found Alpha Aquatics to be very professional with an excellent team of instructors. They really do seem to care about your progress. You’re never just pushed on; your technique is looked at and appropriate advice is given. You are challenged a little but always within your ability and always with empathy and consideration. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

My daughter had her very first lesson today, and she absolutely loved it! The instructor was fantastic – so friendly, welcoming, and patient. I was especially impressed by how much effort they put into assessing her current skill level and tailoring the guidance to where she’s at. She came out of the pool smiling and can’t wait for next week. Highly recommended!

My 7-year-old son has been having swimming lessons at Alpha Aquatics Academy and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The coaches are wonderfully supportive, talented and professional, and they strike just the right balance between encouraging the children to improve and making sure they enjoy themselves. My son’s technique has come on leaps and bounds, but what I love most is how much he now looks forward to his lessons each week. It’s such a friendly, encouraging environment and we feel very lucky to have found it. We highly recommend them.

My son has recently started with Alpha Aquatics alongside his local leisure centre lessons. The difference is amazing! The instructors spend the time helping develop skills in a caring and patient manner. We are moving our lessons across to Alpha permanently as we are so impressed.

Thanks again team Alpha

So impressed

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My child is nervous in the water but the staff were incredible with him. Because of this, he was confident enough to to try new things which he has been scared to try in the past-within 15 minutes of his first lesson.

Absolutely brilliant

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our son had his first lesson today and absolutely loved it. He was nervous and has struggled in the past however he thrived straight away in his lesson. He has achieved more in his first lesson than he has in months of lessons with another provider.

Highly recommend
