SwimWay Swimming School Avaliações 

We are extremely happy with Ronaldo as our son’s swimming instructor. Our son is 8 years old, and the progress he has made under Ronaldo’s coaching has been fantastic.

What really stands out is Ronaldo’s focus on proper swimming technique, rather than simply getting children to swim. He pays close attention to the details, explains things in a way that a young child can understand, and knows how to correct and improve technique while keeping the lessons enjoyable and encouraging.

We have seen a real improvement in our son’s swimming ability, confidence and overall technique since training with Ronaldo. He is progressing really well and genuinely looks forward to his lessons.

Ronaldo is patient, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about helping children become strong, confident swimmers. We feel very fortunate to have found such an excellent instructor and would highly recommend him to any parent looking for high-quality swimming coaching for their child.

Thank you, Ronaldo, for all the effort and encouragement you put into every lesson

Absolutely fantastic experience with Swim Way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My daughter Evie recently took part in the 5-day intensive holiday course at the Putney Pool, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
Tamsin was absolutely wonderful — so warm, patient, encouraging and professional. Evie really enjoyed her lessons and we could see such a difference in her confidence and swimming ability over the five days. Tamsin has a fantastic way of making the lessons fun while still getting the very best out of the children.

We’d also like to give a special mention to the owner of the Putney Pool, who was incredibly welcoming, kind and fantastic with Evie. It really made us feel so comfortable and added to the lovely atmosphere.

Ronaldo is such a terrific teacher. He took on the challenge preparing my son, who wanted to be in competitive swimming squad for his school. He is very courteous and patient. I would highly recommend him!

Aya is an excellent instructor and coach. Over the 12 months she taught our daughter she has made great progress.
Our daughter looks forward to the classes and thinks Aya is very kind and helpful.

Ivanka was excellent with our young son who has speech delay. She managed to get his attention, speak clearly and follow her instructions which many other instructors we’ve tried elsewhere have failed. We did a week crash course and his improvement across the week was marked.

Thiago is a great instructor - he is the right balance of fun and professional, making sure our twins enjoy and look forward to the lessons while also building their confidence and technique. He is really good at building a relationship with the kids and building trust.

My 5-year old son goes to Southfields/Wimbledon SwimWay school. Coach Chris is the best coach there! He is very skilled, patient and calm. He explains very well and talks to kids in a way that they listen. My son progressed from stage 1 to stage 3 in just 5 lessons. Chris is truly amazing! Highly recommend him!

Tiago is a fantastic swimming instructor. My daughter Jing absolutely loves her lessons with him, and thanks to his coaching, I can see her progress after every session.

His teaching techniques are excellent, and he has a wonderful ability to motivate and encourage his students while making learning fun. Swimming lessons have quickly become one of the highlights of my daughter’s week, and she always looks forward to them with excitement.

I would highly recommend him to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring swimming instructor.

Best,
Loksze & Jack

Aqua aerobics at Sheen Home Guard Pool is great fun and a full 45minute workout. Jose does a brilliant job keeping us all moving and laughing; he is delightful and it amuses us all to introduce him to music from way back which we all sing along to during our final warm down session.

Great aqua aerobics classes at Swimway

I highly recommend Swimway and Jose’s weekly aqua aerobics classes. These classes are great for all levels and especially for those post-injury or post-surgery who are looking to get back into exercise or sport. I have been attending Jose’s classes for a year and they have helped me enormously after multiple spinal surgeries. Jose is an exceptionally supportive and enthusiastic teacher, consistently welcoming all ages and fitness levels. The classes are fun, high-energy and set to great music. The Kew Gardens pool is great - super clean, excellent showers and well heated.

I would highly recommend Swimway. It is expensive but having tried other lessons we always return to swimway as the results are much better and so I believe it is better value for money. My daughter’s coach Piers is fantastic. He has such a nice nature with the children - he is patient and serious about the swimming but makes it fun for the children too which is a great balance.
My only criticism of Swimway is that they ask you to rebook for the following term so early which is unnecessary and when I questioned this with them they told me they follow other swim companies which, from my experience, isn’t the case.

great company, daughter had a great experience

We have been with SwimWay since October 2025 & the progression I have seen with my daughter has been incredible. She went from barely wanting to put her face in to starting to practice a backstroke in less than a year. I can tell you we didn’t make this much progress with other swimming instructors.

Cecelia the present instructor has the most gentle but effective approach — she reads the children so well and adapts the lessons to their personalities and abilities. Both my children became comfortable with her so fast. She is encouraging and knows when to push! Anyone who swims with Cecelia will be lucky to have her guide their children in the water. I have seen my 5y/o daughter’s confidence, coordination and enjoyment grow over the terms she has swam with her. She is equally good with my 2 year old who instantly felt comfortable and safe. Cecelia pushed her appropriately to gauge her comfort and skills in the water. It wasn’t just play but it certainly felt that way to her — perfect! Would definitely recommend her.

Giving 4 stars because we had unexpected changes of instructors twice, once near the end of the term and then another time after term ended. This is a bit disruptive to a new swimmer, who has to build trust and confidence with the adult from scratch. Also it can be a bit chaotic at the facility where we are. This is only because it is a rented private home facility so there is only so much control SwimWay can have without much admin staff on site.

You may feel the price is steep but it’s the going rate in London and certainly worth the investment given the rate of progress!

Cecilia is a fantastic teacher and has greatly helped our daughter grow in confidence and ability. She is very friendly, encouraging and the right balance of soft yet disciplined. Would definitely recommend!

I would highly recommend SwimWay for children’s swimming lessons. My daughter just turned 5 and has made incredible progress in the last 6 months. She went from not enjoying swimming and being afraid to put her head under water, to asking me every day if it’s the day of her weekly lesson, and being able to swim over half the length of the pool in breaststroke. I’m amazed! Natalie made her feel comfortable and safe from day 1 and has really helped her confidence and skills grow more than I could ever have imagined. Thank you!

Chiara has been teaching my daughter to swim since she was 8 months old, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is endlessly patient and has a real gift with young children. Every lesson is calm, encouraging and genuinely fun, and my daughter has grown so confident in the water under her guidance. Chiara clearly loves what she does and it shows in how the kids respond to her. If you’re looking for a swimming instructor for your little one, she’s the one.

Have taken both my daughters here to learn to swim over the last several years. All the instructors have been great, most recently Piers and Sonia: very patient and encouraging and really individualised lessons.

Chiara is a great teacher. She is friendly, calm, encouraging and very knowledgeable. Our son has learnt so much with her and he now loves swimming. Pool and facilities are also great.

Great and clean facility, really catered for kids swimming with good changing areas. The tutors are friendly and excellent with kids. Piers has been brilliant and has helped our daughter gain confidence and technique. After trying out a few different swimming places this doesn’t compare and so glad we found it!

Piers has been an excellent teacher for our daughter. He is great with the children and has a good sense of humour and she has progressed really well over the last year.
