Swim teacher
Both my children learnt to swim with Joyful Dolphin Swim. They equally found the lessons really enjoyable with such friendly and energising staff. I feel lucky to have found these classes as it has been the perfect way to introduce them to swimming and gaining their first proper confidence in the water.
I have always been extremely happy with with your professional and helpful instructors. Both myself and the kids have throughly enjoyed the classes. Joyful Dolphin Swim are always top of the list when I talk to other parents about swimming class recommendations.
“Please could you pass on our warmest thanks to Salima, who is truly a fantastic teacher. We really enjoyed her classes. She is warm, friendly, responsive to both our children and us as parents, the pace of her lessons is fantastic, as are her explanations.”
