Testimonials

All my children have learned to swim with Sink or Swim and everything about this swim school is exceptional. I cannot recommend it enough. The classes are small and the management are extremely proactive. I would pick this swim school again without doubt - absolutely first class.

Only on the second lesson with my daughters age 4 and 7 wave 1. they both love their teacher and just love the swimming, as a parent im really happy with the teaching as getting into the pool with the kids makes a big difference as my eldest already has moved up a wave with her second lesson. was worried for my youngest as she was always scared of the water but after the first session she has become so confident.

My daughter absolutely loves her swimming lessons here! Her confidence has soared, and her skills have improved so much. Richard is an outstanding teacher—so patient and encouraging. Rhys, the owner, is always incredibly helpful and attentive. We’ve tried other swim schools before, but this one is a perfect 10/10. Highly recommended!

Kastur Gorsia

My daughter loves her swimming lessons here! She can be really apprehensive about new experiences and environments but Chloe and all the other teachers have been absolutely brilliant with her. Her confidence in the water and in general has improved so much since starting.

Leighton Thompson

Both our kids love their lessons at sink or swim. The teachers are so patient with them and they're growing in confidence all the time. Being able to reschedule a lesson when you're away is a big plus and it's convenient that they're both in the pool at the same time.

We've been so impressed with Sink or Swim. Friendly and professional, and our kids swimming keeps on improving. Our son is also autistic and they've been able to support and handle him really well.

David Woods

Having tried a number of swim schools for my children, this one is excellent. These are small groups with skillful instructors, often in the water with the children, means that there is never any of that waiting and shivering for the children that is so often part of most swimming lessons. The manager Rhys is very responsive and thoughtful about any worries or requests, which have meant that my children have become confident, strong and happy swimmers. Can't recommend them highly enough.

We have been using Sink Or Swim for over a decade, putting our 3 children through swimming lessons.SOS are far and away above other providers, with us now travelling from Caerphilly borough to utilise their highly professional and effective swimming lessons. Da Iawn and Diolch!

Victoria Latham

My two children wouldn’t go near the water before Sink or Swim. And as a Mam, I worried every week about how we could help them swim and be confident in the water. The patience, understanding and skill of the teachers is just fantastic. The whole team genuinely care. I can’t believe the difference in the children, from sitting on the side with just their feet in the water to now treading water in the deep end and swimming butterfly! DIOLCH YN FAWR!

Catrin Taylor

Sink or Swim is THE best swimming school ever. Taught all 3 of my children to swim with all 3 progressing onto Cardiff city swimming club. Bethan my daughter now teaches at Sink or Swim and loves working alongside Rhys and his fabulous team of instructors. 😊

Johanna Witchell

I’ve had two children complete their swimming lessons with Sink or Swim. They’re both confident, strong swimmers who love swimming. They now attend the Sink or Swim swim club, which is fun, sociable and great for fitness as they become teenagers. Thank you!

Claire M

My children developed incredibly well at SOS with a great understanding of all 4 swim strokes, diving/pool entry, water safety and much more! The lessons were fun and catered well to their age range and BIG BONUS the pool was warm!! Changing facilities and parking were great and customer service brilliant. Highly recommend.

Rebecca Clements

Rhys and his brilliant team of swimming instructors offer excellent standards of swimming tuition which is friendly, consistent and fun. They really go above and beyond to help kids develop a love and confidence in the water. We’ve been particularly impressed with how well they’ve been able to support one of our neurodiverse children. The combination of small class sizes and top up classes during the holidays means you can get enough time in the pool with a well trained instructor to see the progress of your children’s swimming ability. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Kirsty Folan

My 4 year old daughter has gained so much confidence and developed her swimming skills very quickly since she started around Easter this year. I’m very impressed with the set up. My daughter always looks forward to her weekly lessons. I highly recommend Sink or Swim.

Elin Kate

My son has been going here for years and loves it, he has a lot of fun. The teachers teach excellent technique and are really focussed on improvement, you get a lot of feedback from the online portal so you know exactly what they’re doing and how they’re coming along; as you progress through the “Waves” you get a sense of achievement. Rhys the manager is extremely helpful and approachable. I’ve recommended Sink or Swim to all my friends when we talk about swimming 👍

Caradog Williams

Highly recommend this school. I send three of my children weekly, and the progress they have made over the past year has been amazing. I like the fact i can log in whenever i want and see their progression. Value for money and my kids enjoy it. Instructors are very patient and Rhys is so friendly and approachable.

Mena Ali

Sink or Swim is brilliant. We had spent years sending our son to leisure centre lessons - large class sizes and very little progress... He absolutely would not put his head in the water - we tried everything! After a handful lessons in Sink or Swim, with much smaller class sizes, the swim teacher taking the time to listen to my son as to why he didn't want to put his face in, and some firm encouragement he did it! His swimming has vastly improved, he is now completely confident under the water and we haven't looked back since. My daughter is now signed up and enjoys every lesson too.
