My son has gone from a non swimmer to a very able competent swimmer thanks to the quality of instruction from Sean's Swim School. Each teacher throughout has offered a very high standard of tuition and are very professional & friendly, I can highly recommend it.

Sean's Swim School has taught our 3 daughters to swim. The youngest has just turned 6 and is now perfecting her strokes! Each teacher has been sensitive, caring, encouraging and travelled at just the right pace. As a result we have 3 water confident girls. No hesitation in recommending Sean's Swim School

I love the Swim School. The instructors are excellent and very skilled at building confidence and teaching technique, both my children have come on immensely in a relatively short time. Being able to see all of the different stages is great as it shows the children what is possible. The children love it, it's one of the highlights of their weekend.

My daughter really enjoyed her first lesson the staff was very friendly and made her feel welcome, I liked the fact that it was a small class size and my daughter can't wait till her next lesson.

My two children have been attending for a term now. Both were complete beginners and one was very anxious about swimming. I am pleased to say that both thoroughly enjoy their half hour lesson in the pool, the staff are encouraging, motivating and have given my daughter a lot more confidence than I expected. I highly recommend Sean's Swimschool to anyone.

Sean's Swim School offers a friendly long term approach to swim lessons and training. Our children have benefitted from direct but frindly tutors who have enabled our kids to swim confidently..

I like the fact that the teacher is in the water with the children, it gives them confidence, there is less fuss without parents. The teachers are all talented, patient and the children listen to them.

My son was extremely nervous in the water so after several months at his previous swim school I gave up. Sean's Swim School was recommended by my neighbour. I called Sean to arrange a trial lesson. My son couldn't wait to go back, the interaction between the teachers and the children is very good. I can't praise Sean's Swim School enough.

When I first took my children to Sean's Swim School the youngest was very timid and afraid of the water, the other saw it as a chore - we have been going for five terms now and both have improved and moved up a class. My youngest is no longer afraid of the water and both children now enjoy swimming. I definately recommend Sean's Swim School.

My son was a very reluctant swimmer when he first came to Sean's Swim School but a great combination of encouragement, kindness with a fun friendly group of teachers has made his confidence soar. He can't wait to go up to the deep end now.

Sean's swim school is fantastic. The teachers are very competent, enthusiastic and friendly, they endlessley encourage the children. Classes are small so each child gets the attention they deserve. What I really love is that the pool is divided into classes of different abilities so all my kids are taught at the same time. Their swimming has improved 100% since coming here, they all love coming.

Since coming to Sean's Swim School my daughter has improved all round. She seems more confident and feels comfortable with her swimming instructors who are excellent. My daughter has special needs but with the support she gets from her instructors has gained the confidence she has so desperately needs

We have been taking our children to Sean's Swim School for 4-5 years and feel that, for the money, we get good value and service. The staff are helpful and friendly, our children have progressed well. We are happy to recommend the School to other parents.

Seans Swim School was ideal for us, good location, friendly staff/instructors and reasonably priced. You are able to sit along the poolside which means you can take note of what they are being taught and put it into practice when you go swimming as a family. I recommended Sean's Swim School to a number of friends many attend now.

Sean's swim school has helped my child's physical development as well as teaching him to swim. The approach has always been thoughtful, careful and helpful. It has helped build his confidence and physical ability which has been delayed by 18 months due to medical condition from birth. I cannot praise Sean and his staff enough.

CRY Charity Swim

Written by Sean Collins on 26 May 2011.

Sean’s Swim School would like to thank all the parents and swimmers for attending the annual sponsored swim.

Swimmers made a splash and raised some cash

Youngsters went to great lengths in memory of a fellow swimmer.

Sean’s Swim School, which meets at Claremont Senior School, Bodiam, Robertsbridge, held its annual sponsored swim on July 9th. This year’s raised money £1000 is for the Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) charity in memory of 13-year-old James Haggerty from Bexhill.

James, a keen swimmer, passed away in March 2009 due to a rare genetic heart condition. The Bexhill High School pupil collapsed and died while playing hide and seek with a friend.

The sponsored swim started at 1pm and included prizes donated by Southern Water, which supports Sean’s Swim School through its Learn to Swim scheme. Sean Collins, who runs the swim school, said: “I was really impressed with the swimmers and their achievements. Lots of swimmers managed to swim an exceptional number of lengths."

“The money raised will be used to hire scanners which will be used to test children for signs of undetected heart conditions free of charge.”

Giles Perrin, head teacher of Claremont Senior School, said: “On behalf of all at Claremont Senior School, many congratulations to all those involved in this excellent event. To raise so much money is a wonderful achievement and a credit to all the swimmers and Sean’s Swim School.”

How long do lessons/courses last?: Lessons are 30 minutes each. Our termly swimming courses, with one lesson per week, are the same length as the school term so they fit neatly around children's holidays.
My child has been ill, should I still bring them to lessons?: Children should be fit and healthy on the day of their lesson. If your child has been suffering from sickness or Diarrhoea then they should not enter the water.
When will my child move up a class?: Children are continually assessed by the teacher. If the teacher feels that they are ready to move up a group then they will be moved straight away. You will not have to wait until the end of term.
When will my child get their next badge?: Badges are awarded to swimmers when they are able to repeatedly demonstrate the skills required for that badge. There is no defined timescale. As we all know, all children learn and develop new skills at different speeds.
Can I change my child's lesson to another day?: Due to the amount of pupils we have, there is a huge demand for certain session times. We will endeavour to find you a suitable time or day. If you would like to change please call Liz on 01424 814725.
My child can't attend next term, can you save their place?: Due to the numbers we have on our waiting list, places cannot be held for any length of time. If you know you cannot attend for a term, please call Liz 01424 814725, tell us when you wish to return and we will do everything we can to find a suitable vacancy.
What do I need to bring?: All you need is an appropriate swimming costume or trunks, towel, goggles and swim hat are optional. Oh and the only other thing you'll need is....... your smile!!
How long does it take to learn to swim?: Everyone is different and it really depends on what you want to achieve. Even after just one course you should be able to see a vast improvement in water confidence and swimming technique.
What age does my child have to be?: We start swimming lessons from the age of 3.
How many children are there in one class?: Our aim is to have no more than 8 pupils in a class to ensure our teachers are able to give each pupil the individual attention they deserve.
