What our parents say

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.

Highly Recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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
