Rushcliffe Arena

Avoid if your child actually needs swimming coaching! Took my daughter to swimming classes when she was 2-3 years old. For such high demand at this place i was extremely disappointed. A lot of the lessons were focused on nursery rhymes and repetitive circuits. I don’t have a problem with that with too much but when certain children are clearly struggling there is absolutely NO support or focus given to the child. My daughter was struggling when she advanced to 3 year olds class and she was clearly struggling with confidence and even got yelled at by one of the swimming instructors. It set her back months and I only realised how bad this place was when I eventually left and went to a local swimming centre with instructors who are actually in the water with them instead of standing outside the pool singing nursery ryhmes. The experience in rushcliffe set my daughter back months! Save your money and go to a local place that actually cares!

Swimming Lessons - they are ok. Unless you have a teacher who is off quite often for whatever reason. Then you get stand ins who do not or can not affect your child's progress to the next level. They simply don't update it. And when you have had 5-6or7 occasions (weeks) where the teacher isn't there because they went back to Uni and getting a replacement takes a while and just when things seem settled, the new teacher isn't there again! Not good for the bank balance or the way your child feels because they are not getting anywhere! This change and delay in teachers is also not communicated to you unless you question it at the front desk- because the teachers don't get time! and that's if you know in the first place who is teaching your child!
