3s Swim School LTD ILFORD Heathcote Avenue, Ilford IG5 0QW

"I was reluctant to write a negative review, due to not wanting to impact a business. However, I did provide feedback to the owner and they didn't respond to me. Also, i feel that other parents could avoid the money I wasted. I paid for two 10 blocks of 1-2-1 swimming lessons for my daughter. This equates to 5 months. By the end of this my daughter could still barely swim, baring in mind that before she had some experience in the water. The swimming instructor was nice enough, but she didn't explain instructions clearly to my child who kept having the wrong techhnique. This would involve me having to intervene to explain to my daughter what she had to do. I saw no development in my child's swimming. Also, they don't communicate with parents about a child's development. I had to keep asking. After this, I decided not to stay with 3swim and booked private swimming lessons elsewhere. After two 30 minute lessons, my daughter can now swim 4 metres unaided with a backstroke and can do a front crawl for 3metres. The new swimming teacher always checks her understanding and i dont need to intervene. I provided feedback to 3swim and they didn't seem to care, instead trying to put the blame on my daughter's ability. This was concerning as from a baby my daughter has loved the water and moved stages quickly. In this new swimming company, she has progressed incredibly quickly and has focused on perfecting her strokes."

"Its great to participate my kids with 3S Swim. Kids are really enjoying the lessons I would like to take this opportunity to mention two drawbacks which may be helpful to improve quality of service delivered 1. The pool temperature was below 18 degrees Celsius during winter time and kids was shivering and made them sick 2. The instructor couldn't establish good communication with kids."

"Sima is a fantastic teacher!! She is very patient, understanding, calm and very encouraging. Best swimming teacher ever!! Also our son did the week crash course - great sessions that every day built on the next. Loved it. 3S Swim School instructors have been amazing, and filled my son with confidence in the pool, and he loves coming to 3 Swim School lesson every week. Sima (teacher ) really helped build up his confidence and gently encourages him each week to go a little outside her comfort zone. I’m so pleased with his progress and new found enthusiasm for the water! Great option for private classes ! The BEST OPTION EVER!!! I am very happy with the result and would recommend 3 Swim School to everyone:adults and children learners who similarly want to learn this key skill."

"I'm a much older learner, and whilst it's tough, the instructors really keep you going. It's a great workout for me and I feel my fitness level has increased. I find swimming really helps my muscles which get tense when sitting at my desk at home 7 hours a day. My swimming is slowly getting better, and the instructors want you to learn using the correct techniques which is very important. I'm much confident in the water now and im sure I will continue to improve."

"Excellent Swimming school, I couldn't reccommended them enough. My Son has come on in leaps and bounds since swimming with 3s Swim School. We have tried group swimming lessons at local leisure centres in the past but just felt like we never really made any real progress with the actual swimming. But 3s have provided a structured 1-2-1 experience that has really worked wonders for my boy. The instructors are super knowledgeable and very patient and deliver a high level of teaching. 3s Swim School are professional and any queries are always followed up in a speedy manner."
