Our Happy Swimmers

At Swim Central, we're committed to providing a best in class experience for our learners and casual swimmers alike.

  • I myself was an ok-ish swimmer so decided to join the Adults Beginner class. Its been great. The instructors spend time with each person in the class individually so I could learn at my own pace. After ~ 2 months of once-weekly lessons I’ve graduated 🙂 Becca and Zara in particular have been great in helping me improve, giving me insightful feedback and meaningful instructions. I now do lane swimming a couple of times a week to get the practice in. I’ve never found the sessions too busy, either morning or evening.

  • I took swimming classes here. The staff is very friendly especially my swim instructor Laura. She is an amazing teacher. She taught me butterfly, back stroke, gliding front and back. She is really a pro at teaching swimming to adults. Shower stalls are always clean and hot water available. Highly recommended.
