Since starting swimming lessons in September with Make a Splash, my previously nervous 5 year old daughter has come on leaps and bounds. A child who didn’t even like being splashed is now jumping into the water! She is growing in confidence with every lesson, she loves her teachers and the new friends she has made. I have and will continue to recommend Make a Splash to all our friends. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you. Not many swimming schools put the students first! All they are worried about is making the maximum profit! You and ur swimming school are a refreshing change!

One of my 5 year old twins Faye started swimming lessons with Make a Splash at The Village in September. She was very keen to start lessons having seen them taking place whilst we were playing in the pool. She is however not the most confident of children so when the time came to actually be left for a lesson she was not quite so sure and we have had a few tears along the way. I have to say that Barbara and Bracken have been absolutely fantastic with their support and encouragement and even though she is still a little nervous at the start of a lesson she gets into it and really enjoys herself. In fact, this has led to her taking off her armbands for the first time last week and swimming unaided!! She was so proud of herself! Her twin sister Megan is not so keen to start lessons but she comes in the pool with me whilst Faye has her lesson. Again, Barbara and Bracken help give some distant support to Megan encouraging her to copy what they are doing in the lesson. Hopefully this encouragement will give her the confidence to start lessons herself soon. I can’t thank you all enough for the encouragement and support you have given, especially to Faye but also to a more reluctant Megan!!

Just wanted to email you to let you know how impressed we are at the improvements Erin has made in her swimming in such a short space of time. As you know Erin had been at another swimming school since the age of 3 and one and a half years later she was confident in the water but hadn’t really progressed with her swimming.  Since joining “Make A Splash” she has just blossomed. She clearly enjoys the lessons and gets so much out of them. We were on holiday in Ireland over Easter and this is where we noticed just how much she had come on. Erin got into the hotel swimming pool with ease and just took off with her armbands on. Her feet couldn’t touch the floor but this didn’t worry her at all. She swam up and down and had a great time. In fact we found it very difficult to get her out of the pool!!!.

Thank you so much to you and all your staff who have made this possible.

We are very pleased with her progress to date and can see a big improvement already…and more importantly she actually looks forward to her lessons now rather than having to drag her along. Thanks for your hard work and continued support in the future in advance. Richard Stait (April 2011)

Suzie implements innovative ideas to achieve technical excellence. There is an admirable blend of discipline and warm personal care. The small class sizes and tranquil atmosphere are a far cry from the overcrowded and impersonal settings of the local leisure centre swimming pools.

…I would also like to say how impressed my wife and I are with you and your fellow instructors. The interactive play and positive attitude make learning to swim an enjoyable experience, the boys already look forward to their classes.

Bethany was really quite nervous of water before Suzie took her for swimming lessons; now our Sundays are all about Make A Splash. Excellent teaching is provided in an individual personal manner that makes each swimmer want to learn such an important life skill. I cannot praise Make A Splash highly enough, just fantastic!
Lisa Davis (November 2009)

As swimming is so important as a survival skill I am extremely pleased that James, since joining Suzie’s swim school, is now really enjoying his swimming lessons and is making excellent progress.

Barbara was excellent with Lora… Thank-you for a great service.

I have always been nervous about putting my head underwater but since having lessons with Suzie, she has really helped my confidence. I would recommend her to anyone.
Caron Chandler (February 2010)

Suzie helped with my Front crawl legs and breathing techniques. I had struggled with them before. She was encouraging and supportive and made learning enjoyable. Now I’m miles better. Thanks Suzie!
