Testimonials
Brilliant find! Been to 3 local swim schools but dolphins is by far the best. Teachers are fantastic!! Very warm water and no smell of chlorine as you get in most pools! Plenty of parking straight outside which is a big plus for me! All staff are super friendly and helpfull. Highly reccomend
In an Industrial Estate but that just means there's no problem parking - a bonus when there's baby, baby bag, etc in tow. Fantastic teaching. Friendly staff. Small classes. Clean and warm. 🙂
Both my sons have learnt to swim here and found the experience very positive and rewarding. They could not wait for the next lesson each week and were always eager and very excited to get in the pool. Can't recommend this place enough if you are looking for a nice calm and encouraging place for your kids to learn to swim confidently and happily!
My daughter Ava Ware used to be taught by Sharon and I just wanted to let her know that she taught Ava her technique so well that we've had two separate teachers from two separate swim schools say that Ava's technique is so good that she should join a swim club. One swim teacher who taught her for just a term even followed up through Ava's primary school a year later to make sure we tried to join her up with Leander Swim Club. I honestly believe it was Sharon's beautiful way with the kids and her attention to detail. So Just want to say a huge big heart felt thanks again to her and to tell her to keep up the good work as she's totally awesome in our books. x
I have been taking my daughter to Dolphins since she was 3 months old.
We love swim time each week. The teachers are amazing and the confidence my daughter has in the water is a testimony to them. We've been swimming for over a year now and plan continue much longer.
Our two boys have been swimming with Dolphins (primarily Donna and Sharon since they were 3 months old). They are now 7 and 5, the quality of their swimming and confidence in the water is a testament to the structured and fun way that they have learnt over the years. They continue to swim and develop at Dolphins at Wimbledon College after starting at the centre in Mitcham. Could not recommend highly enough. Helen
