Shapland Swim Schools - Ipswich

I was a little dubious at the start with the "fun" approach to swimming. My thoughts were, I'm not paying for FUN. However, I have been proven very wrong! My children LOVED the approach and were eager to engage with their teachers and I saw their confidence grow and their skills improving. We love the personal approach of them team. Highly recommend

Shapland swim school has been amazing for my 2 daughters. They have been attending for a few months now and have progressed in leaps and bounds. They’ve gone from being afraid of the water- to learning how to float and now gaining confidence in swimming. The teachers are professional, understanding and caring. The online make -up lessons booking system very user friendly. I highly recommend this school for anyone who has little ones that will learn to love swimming.

The instructors are lovely, patient but firm. Paul and Erica are fantastic, always willing to help out when they are able. We've been going here for over 3 years now and still happy as the day we started.

Great to see this school has returned post-isolation. Paul and Erica have created a very effective and caring environment. Our son was struggling over a period of 18 months to get traction with techniques and they went out of their way to offer additional sessions and times to help get him to where he needed to be. We really appreciate the consistency and skill of the instructors.

Both of my children aged 6 and 4 have been attending since 6 months of age. I cannot fault the swim instructors nor Paul and Erica. We love that it is under cover, swimming is almost year round and there are only three students per lesson. My childrens swimming and confidence in the water continues to improve and I put this down to the small classes and wonderful instructors.

Have been going to this swimming school for 3 years now. Wonderful instructors who take the time to get to know and invest in your children. Super easy and flexible catch up lesson system. Run buy the owners who absolutely bend over backwards to accommodate everyone's needs and preferences. Max 3 kids per lesson is set in stone (not just lip service). Lessons run year round so the kids don't forget over the winter months and go from strength to strength. Pool nice and warm in winter (which is great for parents getting in the pool with bubs). Can't recommend enough!

Have had both kids at Shapland swim school since 6 months old eldest is nearly 7. I have found both Paul and Erica extremely accommodating when it has come to scheduling times to suit our family commitments. The standard of swim teaching has also been excellent for both kids as they thrive when they are in the pool with good water awareness and confidence.

Very happy with Paul and Erica from Shapland Swim School; they have been incredibly focused and patient with teaching my children to swim, Paul had to spend a lot time helping one of my children get over a fear of floating which he did. Very happy with this swim school, we wouldn't change after everything Paul has done for our children.

Great teachers and swim school. We have been coming for a little while now and my daughter loves it
