swim! Coatbridge Coatbank Street, Coatbridge ML5 3SP

"My 5 year old son is loving his lessons at swim! We took him to other swimming lessons previously and he hardly got a chance to swim at all. Much better here, can see so much of a difference in him already and he’s only been for 3 lessons. Staff are so friendly and would go that extra mile to help you. Also loving the pool room for parents to sit and watch. Lovely big windows and it’s nice and cool. Not like most places where your cooking in the heat. Ryan is very good with all the kids, gives them lots of encouragement, letting them know their doing brilliantly in the pool. Very impressed with it all. So glad I moved my son here, massive difference. I would recommend it!"

"My daughter has been to two lessons so far and I can already see a huge improvement in her swimming ability. Her confidence has increased 100%. All the members of staff as so welcoming, friendly and informative. The Teachers are awesome, so engaging, encouraging and positive. My daughter loves the class as do I."

"My little one started swimming lessons last week. She was very very nervous beforehand and I was worried that she would struggle with me not allowed there. She was a little surprised when I wasn’t there but she was quickly and easily distracted by Emma. She had her arm bands on and was given a pool noodle and put in the water. I could tell from where I sat in the viewing room that she was scared by this but I am assuming that Emma was constantly reassuring as like a switch was turned she started swimming up and down the pool with her pool noodle. There were two children in her class that were a lot more confident and two that were very much so less confident but all children were supported as much as they needed in the water. When my little one was being shown the backstroke and her arm slipped off the pool noodle I could see her panic but Emma was there in a moment and helped her get sorted again. She came out of the class buzzing and saying that she wanted to come back every week. There was a little warm up before the class which is such a fantastic idea. The viewing room is comfortable and spacious with free tea and coffee. I loved being able to see her so clearly in her lesson. I really did see her in her very first class grow that little bit more confident than when she started can’t wait to see her progress over the coming weeks."
