 I have really struggled to find a decent swimming school for my children since moving into the area, but fortunately I have finally struck gold with Silverdale Swim School. I thought that their level of customer service was exceptional until I met Trevor and his staff at pool side - they were even better!! Trevor assessed my children and actually asked them for their opinion and immediately put them at ease. He even waited over an hour for me because I was stuck in traffic! The swim school that I initially found in the area resulted in my children not wanting to swim anymore - Silverdale have resurrected their love of swimming and they are very keen to start their lessons. Trevor, Sue and their staff actually put the children's needs regarding learning to swim way ahead of any financial gain. Their high staff to pupil ratio's put other swim schools to shame. Thank goodness there are some genuine people out there that are not just out to make loads of money but actually want the children to learn to swim as well as have fun in the water. THANK YOU Trevor and Sue.

Both my children attend Silverdale Swim School at the Battle Abbey Pool and I am incredibly impressed by the level of instruction, care and responsibility shown by Trevor and Sue and by their well trained and competent instructors and student teachers, that has seen my children become excellent swimmers. I am employed as a Company safety officer and am impressed by the professional approach to the well being and safety of students whilst under there care. The level is above and beyond their duties imposed upon them as organisers, and has being reflected by the introduction of an extra level of accountability for swimmers should an emergency situation occur. The coverage of instructors (and lifeguards) to swimmers, protocols and enforcement has
provided an excellent, safe and fun environment for my children to learn how to swim. I have passed on the club's details with no hesitation to several of my friends who have children. Well done and keep up the good work.

I have been extremely impressed with Silverdale Swim School for the following reasons:
1) My daughter was immediately assessed and placed in a group appropriate to her level. There is no waiting for the term end - the children are constantly reassessed and if they improve, are moved (subject to availability of places) to a more advanced group straight away. So they don't spend much time doing stuff they can already do easily.
2) There are a LOT of staff - out of the water and in - so problems with technique etc are ironed out very quickly
3) Two previous schools we tried had a "play session" at the end of term, ie every 6th lesson or so - not very motivating for the children who come to lessons to progress. They can always play swim (more cheaply!) when you take them yourself. Anyway, none of that at Silverdale - so the value for money is actually a lot better.
4) The administration of billing etc is clear and well organised and you get the impression that their systems are tried and tested. Again, no faffing about.
5) Sue and Trevor make every effort to accommodate particular requests, like timings of lessons, to get the best possible fit with the needs and wants of demanding parents!

Over the last five years Trevor and Sue have taught our daughter to swim properly with great emphasis on stroke, not just speed; no stop watches, thank goodness, in this establishment. Just plenty of the friendliest most knowledgeable staff imaginable. All of whom have made the well structured lessons fun and safe. They have left Lara looking forward to next Sunday every Sunday! Thanks a million.

Silverdale Swim School has taught both my children to swim with skill and confidence. The encouragement and positive attitude to the children pushed them without them realising they were learning difficult life skills. The safety measures during lessons are above expectations and indeed give parents reassurance on
every level. I would recommend to anyone considering finding a swimming school for their children to contact Silverdale Swim School.

I'm so fortunate to have found Silverdale Swim School for my girls. Being new to the area I searched carefully for a swim school that would not only be right for them, but for me too. Congratulations Silverdale you have surpassed all my expectations. My girls can't wait to get to their lessons. The high ratio of extremely competent, friendly instructors to children has given them so much more confidence. They are learning to swim in a fun, safe & friendly environment. I can actually see improvement week on week. Trevor & Sue have been brilliant. They have made us feel so welcome, and always take the time to listen to any needs or requests I may have. They make every effort to accomodate such requests & the level of customer service received is exceptional. I have already recommended Silverdale Swim School, and would definitely do so again.

I find Silverdale Swim School to be a friendly and most professional company. My son (aged 6) has been having lessons since he was 4 and a half and has progressed successfully through the groups. He gains confidence weekly and most importantly thouroughly enjoys himself. They are assessed fairly and according to ability and work to gain certificates and badges which my son is delighted to attain. The staff are very friendly and attentive and work hard to recognise and address potential. My son loves going and I love to see him enjoying the water.

Both of my children attend Silverdale Swim School. My eldest developed so well under such fantastic tuition that it was a 'no brainer' for my youngest to attend as well. I have always been impressed with the high ratio of instructors in the pool with the children, making you feel at ease; especially in the early days. As my children have progressed, they have been rewarded in terms of certification and badges; which children love. The staff are very friendly, helpful and approachable. I can't recommend Silverdale highly enough, a real quality service.

THE VERY BEST SWIM SCHOOL IN ROTHER - In my view Silverdale is by far the very best swim school in Rother. Having regrettably wasted time, money and patience at other local swimming schools/clubs, my children and I were recommended to contact Silverdale. What a difference! This fantastic swim school provides the very best swimming teaching and coaching for all ages and abilities. Their amazingly high ratio of teachers and support staff to pupils is in a different league to anything else we have experienced or could wish for. My children just love it. They are going from strength to strength, earning certificates & badges. But most of all they are having fun and being treated fairly and with respect; as are all the other children. They are part of a great club with a wonderful atmosphere. Other parents that I talk to come to SSS from miles away. I'm not in the least suprised Silverdale is as big and popular as it is. Well done Sue, Trevor and all the teaching staff.

I am so impressed by Silverdale Swim School, it is so efficiently run and the staff are fantastic. From my first initial contact it has been efficient ever since! My daughter started as a reasonable swimmer and is coming on leaps and bounds and loves every minute of the class. She is perfecting strokes and learning everything else; she is moving on so fast. My four your old son had a bad experience at a different school and was very anxious about getting in the pool without me! After his first lesson he cannot wait to get back in the pool. His teacher was so reassuring to him and didn't rush him or pressure him in anyway, this helped him gain confidence at his own pace. I know both my children will be confident happy swimmers at this school without a doubt. There are so many teachers and a lifeguard and they are all working really hard for the whole lesson, its great to watch. Thanks Silverdale.
