Core Aquatics

Nicole, James and the team are fantastic. My son has autism and I have been searching for a suitable swim provider.Nicole goes above and beyond to meet our needs as individuals as well as family. James was my sons swim teacher and we absolutely loved him, james was able to manage my sons outbursts even when i thought we couldnt overcome it. My son got so confident in the water and as a mother I felt at ease visiting swimming pools after lessons knowing he's enjoying it.Nicole uses a different swim certification for my son which is more inclusive to his autism. Nicole and the team are Autism Swim trained and also cater for all swim abilities. I highly rate them and have been with them since 2020 hoping my daughters will join them when they are old enough.Thanks core Aquatics!

I would highly recommend Core Aquatics if you’re considering swimming lessons. All of the teachers are amazing and Nicole is always professional and very organised and provides regular feedback on your child’s progress. In the time that my children have been having lessons with the school their progress has been incredible. The lessons are the perfect balance of being fun and yet structured and challenging. Our children have gone from dreading swimming to being excited about what they will be learning in their next lesson!

Nicole and her team have been absolutely fantastic from our first lesson with both my children. We have been with them for over 3 years now and have loved every single swim teacher. My eldest was very nervous after a previously bad experience with lessons but settled here so quickly. Communication is great and cannot recommend it enough.

I took my son soon after he started at School. He (and I) had not enjoyed lessons as a baby, but he very quickly felt comfortable with the teachers, enjoyed learning and he still loves lessons three years on! Nicole and the team are professional, engaging and they excel at teaching. My son has progressed at an amazing pace and looks forward to his lessons each week. The classes are small enough to get the tailored support, so you don't feel like he's lost in a large group of kids. I wholeheartedly recommend lessons with Core Aquatics.

My daughter joined Core Aquatics in September 2020 and I can honestly say, it's amazing and fantastic swimming school. My daughter is severely autistic, practically non verbal and has very restricted social communication skills but despite all of that Nicole and swimming teachers found unique way to teach and show the joys of swimming. From a child who was terrified to get inside a swimming pool she now enjoys her lessons, she can swim independently on her front, back (which she hated for long time), she even can dive underneath the water. Core Aquatics is one of the best things that happened in my daughters life, it's absolutely brilliant.Olga

Nicole and her team have taught all of my children to swim. I would definitely recommend Core Aquatics to any parents that want their children to learn to swim well. I was impressed at how quickly my children progressed from being unable to swim to becoming confident swimmers. We had been making slow progress with other swimming schools and were very pleased with the quick results delivered by the enthusiastic team at Core Aquatics

Our now 6yr old daughter was, less than 1 year ago, terrified of being in water without floatation aids. She started swimming lessons in the summer at a council run pool but the 1:12 class ratio meant she was really struggling to make progress. We were recommended to try Core Aquatics and haven't regretted it. Our daughter has been swimming with Core since around October last year. Now, her class is 1:3/4/5 (depending on attendance) and a 30 minute lesson is 100 times more productive than it was in the previous swim school. This makes the higher cost for us,and I presume all families, very good value as they are getting more active swim instruction in the session. The teaching quality is excellent, the behind the scenes support from Nicole is amazing. Altogether a very professionally run swim school with excellent teaching and great results. No hesitation in recommending Core Aquatics!

My daughter Daisy has been with Core Aquatics for 2 years now and absolutely loves it! She began as the child who was under confident but, with encouragement from Nicole and her swimming teachers throughout the stages, she has thrived and improved so much. The teachers are patient and make lessons fun for all children and Daisy loves her lessons every time she goes. I would definitely recommend Core Aquatics to newcomers and they're parents. A friendly but professional team. Thank you Nicole and Co.

I would highly recommend Core Aquatics, the teaching is of an excellent standard. The class sizes are small in comparison to other swim schools so the children get a lot more out of the class. Both my children attend the centre, the older one has learnt so much with James and my youngest has gained more confidence in the water since starting at the school. Nicole and the team work really hard to make the lessons enjoyable for the children.

Our eldest kids have been having lessons here for a couple of years, a period of time which includes the lockdowns. Nicole and the team are superb - the teachers are all fantastic, just the right side of pushing the kids to help them grow in confidence and skill - but not waste time. There's usually 4, sometimes 5 in our lessons which means there is time for each student as well as rest (we had one week where it was just our two and they were knackered!). Communication is perfect, and I can't imagine how Nicole managed to arrange lessons that complied with the ever shifting guidelines so quickly and calmly!The only slight gripes are entirely out of Core Aquatic's control, and relate more to the school infrastructure (although they're only very slight gripes, completely tolerable and probably apply anywhere such as number of showers).Overall, we (including the kids) have been immensely pleased and impressed with the quality of swimming teaching. Would heartily recommend to anyone looking for lessons for any age group.
