    Wife goes swimming here, I stopped and waited and had a coffee and cake, felt a lot fitter afterwards. Shame they don't have separate sessions for children, adults and disabled, I think it would work better for all.

    Over one term my 3 year old has lost all their swimming confidence at first strokes. When the class is busy the children seem to spend a majority of the 30 minutes holding on to or sitting on the side. When they are swimming they are passed quickly from instructor to instructor with little to no time independent swimming.

    Excellent, my grandchildren are having lessons and making very good progress. I am a swimming teacher myself, so I can confidently say that it is a very well run establishment.

    I have had major surgery I’ve just joined First Strokes for a recovery program to help me walk again, the staff have been so helpful and kind they have gone out of their way to ensure that I do not come into harms way, the staff suggested a lane rope to partition me from a potential hazard I am delighted to say I would highly recommend First Strokes for a public swim Thank you to all who have gone that extra mile to keep me safe, the staff are so friendly and I felt so happy swimming again since 2019 after going through so many major surgeries Kindest regards Chris 🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️
