Testimonials

After my daughter had a disappointing swimming lesson elsewhere, Lily didn’t want to go to another swimming lesson again until she started Swim City last week. Can’t thank you enough, and she looks forward to her lessons.

My seven year old son Oscar had his first 1:1 lesson today with Lucy at Birtley and we are thrilled with how well the session went. Oscar in autistic and non-verbal so we really weren’t sure how Oscar would adapt to the lesson. Lucy was warm, patient and friendly with Oscar. She managed to keep his attention and adapt the lesson to suit his needs.

Since joining Swim City my daughter Merri has came on a ton, in confidence as well as ability. Alice has been amazing at getting her to focus and understand what she needs to do to improve her technique.

Great company that have taught both my kids from an early age. They both enjoy their lessons and the teachers are great. Jonny, Abi and Stacy have been fantastic with their team to take them though the stages and after seeing and trying other places in the past (before Swim City) I wouldn’t take them anywhere else now.

Jonny, Stacy and the team will always go beyond to make sure your child is progressing and gaining confidence, developing skill and most of all enjoying their swimming. All of the teachers are approachable, kind, great with adults and children and create a fun but challenging environment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swim City.

Can’t recommend Swim City highly enough. Ruby wouldn’t step foot in the water until we took her to these guys. Abi is absolutely amazing with her and Ruby is now working towards her stage 3 and loves the water! Thank you to all at Swim City. Not only are they great coaches but just genuinely lovely people!
-Jane 2023:

Would highly recommend Swim City- they are fantastic. Staff are great with the children and make lessons fun. They also They also take the time to get to know each child and know their likes/dislikes and what works for each one. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Keep up the good work.

Had my first adult swimming lesson last night at Monkwearmouth academy. I really enjoyed it, instructors were amazing. Fantastic set up and really friendly. Its the hardest I’ve ever worked in a swimming session and can’t wait to go back next week.
