swim! Newcastle Benton

Lessons are only 30 minutes, most weeks they’re fine but there doesn’t appear to be much structure to them. A lot of the time the lessons can be disrupted resulting in 4 out of the 5 kids just left holding the side doing nothing for large periods. There are also not enough changing facilities to accommodate all of the pupils in each of the sessions. Feedback after each lesson is lacking. For the price point I’d expect much more. Cheaper more involved alternatives are available in the area from age 4. The few positives, class sizes are small though there are a lot of them running at the same time, changing area is clean despite being under sized.

All of the staff at Swim! Benton are fantastic - super friendly, welcoming and helpful, and I would highly recommend any parent to give their classes a try. A special shout out to Lyze - within a few weeks my son went from sitting on the side of the pool too anxious to go in, to confidently splashing about and learning loads of new skills every week. The progress he has made in such a short time is incredible - and it’s all thanks to Lyze! Thank you so much, swimming lessons are now a highlight of our week thanks to you :)
