Hear From Our Swimmers Parents

Hear from the swimmers and families who know Little Fish best, and discover what makes their experience in the water so rewarding.

Best swimming lessons ever! Toby is a brilliant teacher and knows exactly how to engage and motivate kids of all ages, abilities and personalities - my two are chalk and cheese, and both respond really well to him. He gets the balance just right between building children’s confidence in the water and keeping them safe. And he has the patience of a SAINT 😅 My 7-yr-old daughter (who has Down syndrome) loves her weekly one-to-one lessons with him, and is now well on her way to becoming a confident swimmer, which is very exciting.
Toby has been incredible with both of our children. Taken them from being scared of the water to confident and happy swimmers - I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Thanks alot everyone. My 5 yr old boy came last week, has gone from not letting me wash his hair, to holding his breath under the bathwater in 1 week! Incredible teaching thank you again.
We have used Little Fish for a few years now, the teachers are very friendly and welcoming and offer a safe space to learn to swim. When my son started he wasn't very keen on getting in the water but after a few sessions of water play and a gentle approach he soon settled in.
