HydroKidz Swim School Reviews 

Both our children joined HydroKidz with little to no swimming experience or confidence in the water. They have done so well since joining and this is credit to their swimming instructors. The team is very friendly and welcoming and great with the children! Their instructors Jasmine and Devon have been fantastic but it’s obvious all the instructors are sharing that same ethos. Very happy with the team and our children’s progress.

The swim teacher has been great, the right mix of encouraging and firm, with a bit of fun thrown in. We were lucky to have a small class size.we highly recommend.

Melanie was very patient from the start. My twins had different needs though both were beginners and she adapted herself to their needs, giving them the space and time to gain in confidence and begin to love the water. Thoroughly recommend Melanie and the intensive 1-2-1 lessons to give children a headstart. My only issue was the on day one the water was cold (26°) due to the heater tripping the night before and there was no apology or heads up about it from the company. It was fixed and from day two it was nice and warm. However no comms which is why this review is 4 stars not 5.

The swim teacher has been great, the right mix of encouraging and firm, with a bit of fun thrown in. We were lucky to have a small class size. My son's swimming has really come on over a couple of terms. Would recommend.

My son is becoming more confident in the water thanks to his lessons with Kelly at hydrokidz at Philip southcote cannot fault Ash and Kelly both very good instructors little set back tonight was resolved by them both professionally and my son is looking forward to getting back to lessons next week.

We attend Saturday lessons at blue coat school in Reading and my twin girls are with thier swiming teacher Aston who is absolutely amazing! He pays constant attention to them and makes sure they fully understand everything before moving on. Melanie who is in charge is so on the ball with everything, so organised and super friendly! Highly recommend the attention to detail and professionalism is off the scale! My kids love it here

Fantastic team!

Great swimming teacher

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at HydroKidz Children’s Swim School! Both of our children have been attending lessons for several months now, and the progress they’ve made has been truly remarkable.

From the very first call, the support from the HydroKidz team has been friendly, clear and genuinely helpful, we always feel listened to and guided with patience and professionalism.

Every instructor we’ve met has been warm, encouraging and highly skilled. They consistently make lessons fun and engaging while also pushing the children to improve their technique and confidence in the water. Seeing our little ones come out of the pool smiling and proud of themselves week after week has been fantastic.

We cannot recommend them highly enough, a huge thank you to the whole team for the difference they’ve made to our children’s confidence and skills!

Avoid – extremely poor value and unfair practices
I had a very disappointing experience with this swimming company. They cancelled a lesson at the last minute and, when challenged, simply hid behind their small print and repeated “no refunds” rather than offering any reasonable solution or make-up lesson.
Because of half term, the programme was then closed for three weeks, yet they still expected £50 for delivering absolutely nothing during that period. Faced with paying for weeks of no service, I decided to cancel – only to be told I had to pay another £50 to cover December, a month in which they would only deliver two lessons due to Christmas anyway.
In total, I paid hundreds of pounds for only a handful of lessons. The lack of flexibility, poor customer service, and reliance on small print instead of fairness is unacceptable.
Approach with extreme caution – this company prioritises fees over customers

My 8 year old son has made great progress with his swimming and general confidence in the water under the careful eye of the instructors at Hydrokidz. There has been a renewed focus recently on marking his improvement with certificates and badges and this has really helped with his sense of achievement, enjoyment and focus. The pool at Mary Hare is really nice and there is a calm and focused atmosphere. The teachers are kind, attentive and fun. Overall, delighted.

Brilliant with my son. Stuart is an amazing coach and has helped my son so much and given him tons of confidence in the pool.

My experience with Hydrokidz was fun and safe. The instructors were patient and skilled, making it easy to feel comfortable in the water. It's great place for kids to learn swimming confidently.

The experience is very good for me

The team at Hydrokidz Walton have been fantastic at helping both our children advance their techniques, and build confidence. Highly recommend.

Our son has always had a wonderful experience with his swimming lessons at Cranbourn School Basingstoke, he is so independent now when we go swimming it has allowed him to enjoy it so much more. He had his first session with Jack today. Jack managed to put so much into the lesson while being friendly and calm, it was so good to see our son gain so much and progress while having fun. He really enjoys himself and we really appreciate everything that has been done

Muy buenas piletas excelente instrucción a los niños

Thank you everyone at Hydrokidz, you taught two of my children how to swim from three years old and were fantastic. Very professional and kind. Great venue at Bluecoats with easy parking.

When my son started at hydrokidz he had no confidence in the water and would get really upset at the beginning of each lesson but with an instructor like Chick that all changed very quickly. Chick is patient, engaging and makes sure all the children in his group get the attention then require. He makes learning fun with his great enthusiasm and now my son looks forward to his lessons. When we went on holiday we really noticed how far he had come and that’s all thanks to his lessons with chick at hydrokidz.

Great swim school, my children are very happy going and we have seen enormous progress. The teachers Chkkid and Tara make the lessons fun and engaging.
