What our families say
"My kids can swim all year round as it’s a heated indoor pool. I’ve tried swimming lessons with other schools that are heated outdoor ones but sometimes it still gets too cold for my 6 year old and they don’t get to focus on learning to swim but on the cold instead so will definitely be sticking with Ace Learn to Swim! Great teachers."
