Bluefish Swim School | Twyford School | Winchester

My 9 and 12 year olds just enjoyed a 3-session snorkelling course with Carina which was great. From starting hesitantly and being unsettled with mask and snorkel issues, they finished the course being able to confidently dive down to the bottom of the pool and collect objects whilst clearing the snorkel when they resurfaced. Carina also encouraged them to focus on safety and on how to swim ‘quietly’ in the water. Would thoroughly recommend.

Really impressed with how quickly my children have come along with their swimming. It's a great pool to learn in and nice and warm. The swim teacher is very professional and has helped my children gain confidence in the water and they look forward to their lesson each week.

Carina has been absolutely fantastic with my son. He has gone from being a nervous swimmer, reluctant to have water touch his ears, to a confident & able swimmer who enjoys swimming underwater. I have been overwhelmed by his progress each week. Carina is able to focus on each child's development & tailor accordingly as the classes are smaller. She is able to give just the right balance of encouragement & direction & my son has been thriving. I fully intend to enrol my daughter when she is old enough & I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Carina is a great swimming teacher! My two children (aged 9 and 10) have improved greatly from Carina’s teaching. Prior to learning with Carina, they had struggled with learning in larger groups in leisure centre style classes and their swimming hardly progressed. Carina’s smaller classes are much better and both my children have done really well. Carina is incredibly patient and manages to get the best out of the children and their lessons. Highly recommended!

My boys love swimming with Carina - I highly recommend her.We have been going to lessons with her for a number of years and I am astounded at how much my sons have learnt and progressed (particularly as they only swim once a week).Carina's no-nonsense, safety-first approach combined with her caring nature works so well and my two have flourished.Thanks Carina!

Carina is an excellent swimming instructor. My daughter has been learning with her for a year and a half and she has progressed from being a non-swimmer to competing in a school biathlon! Carina is very patient, but has high expectations and my daughter loves having lessons with her. We currently have lessons in Winterbourne Earls and it is a lovely pool. Thank you very much Carina for making lessons so fun!

Carina is the best instructor I've seen. Three of my children, aged 4, 11 and 13 are currently attending lessons with Carina. I had previously done daily lessons in Spain, lasting for one hour for the time period of one month and my kids didn't learn to swim. They also did weekly swimming lessons with the school in a leisure centre for months with no results. Only my 13 year old finally managed to figure out how not to drown. My 4 and 11 year old couldn't even get their faces wet, they would panic! I was desperate for them to learn how to swim when I came across Carina's school, and let me tell you... in a matter of two days I saw the improvement! My 11 year old can finally swim, my 13 year old is now learning new swimming styles and my 4 year old is getting there too!I love that she is caring and firm at the same time. No time wasting and very affordable. I'm so happy with her that I've even begged her to incorporate some adult lessons because it's not only about knowing how to swim but also about learning new stiles, swimming efficiently and effortlessly. I really hope I can start soon!She's just great, I still can't believe what she's done and I'll be forever grateful. As soon as my fourth baby reaches the appropriate age, I expect Carina to be her swimming instructor as well.

Under Carina’s guidance my boys have progressed from needing swimming aids to mastering strokes in under 6 weeks! They even managed to have a fun session learning about snorkels at the end of their block of lessons. We’re so impressed with how they’ve come on we’ve signed up for the next term too!

Carina is an absolutely brilliant swimming teacher. I don't know how she does it but our 3 children have made more progress with Carina in a year than they did over 5 years in leisure centre lessons. The intense holiday lessons are also fab for speeding up progress too. You won't regret signing up with Carina!

My son has been swimming with Carina for the last few years and he has come on amazing from not being able to swim to confidently swimming many different strokes and gaining his swimming badges and certificates, my daughter is 3 and has just started and Carina is fantastic with her. Carina has lots of patience and doesn’t push the children to hard, so that they learn but also enjoy the lesson. We Thoroughly recommend Carina, Thank you
