What our parents say
The swimming teachers are volunteers, and as such, teach our children with such amazing passion and enthusiasm - it comes through so clearly in their teaching. Both of our children have come on leaps and bounds at Christchurch Swimming Club and look forward to their lessons every week!
Fantastic opportunity for children to learn water safety and swimming techniques, great team of volunteers - thank you!
I was so relieved and happy to find an affordable swimming club for my 4 children. The lovely qualified teachers are all volunteers giving up their time for free and are very patient, professional and kind with the students. My children all really enjoy their lessons and it has a lovely family, community feel to the club. The admin team were so helpful to ensure that all my children could swim within their own ability level but at the same time... the dream scenario for any parent with multiple children!!!
Christchurch swimming club is beyond fantastic. The dedicated volunteer swimming coaches are up there with the best and I have spent hours poolside watching my 3 children learn to swim. They make the lessons fun and enjoyable and the yearly gala supports those that have a competitive edge (not compulsory!). We are so very grateful to everyone that gives up their time to support the club and we are thrilled our children are competent and strong swimmers thanks to their swimming lessons with Christchurch swimming club.
My daughter has attended Christchurch Swimming Club for three years. In that time, I've seen her water confidence and swimming skills go from strength to strength which is an absolute 'must' living so close to the sea! She loves the lessons and every teacher she's had has been patient and helpful. It's also a great opportunity to meet other children from the area, with similar interests.
The swimming club is such a friendly, positive space for children learning to swim. The instructors are so engaged with the kids and our kids have always been excited it’s a swimming night. Thank you!
Both our boys have enjoyed swimming with Christchurch Swimming Club for a number of years - 2RM facilities are good, the instructors are great and the Club is really friendly and well-run
Our daughter's confidence, and more importantly, her enjoyment, in the swimming pool has really come on since joining Christchurch Swimming Club. We tried several schools and clubs over the years but there's certainly a lot less complaining and a lot more progression with these guys.
Both my boys have really enjoyed learning and improving their swimming technique with Christchurch Swimming Club. The coaches are all very friendly and supportive of meeting the children’s needs.
Fantastic tuition from engaged and experienced teachers in a friendly and supportive environment. We feel very lucky to be part of this club, thank you for consolidating our kids swimming skills and water confidence.
The Club has been invaluable in supporting my son to get back to swimming regularly for mental and physical health reasons, following Covid. They are so supportive and caring in their approach and have helped him to recover his confidence in the water and his swimming ability. It is also affordable -which makes it accessible for people who really need it. Thanks to all the volunteers at the club who give their precious time every week to help others. Much appreciated.
Since joining the club over a year ago our son has progressed from lane to lane with structured lessons which really refine each stroke but always making time for fun at the end of term. All the volunteers are really friendly and the club itself is extremely well organised. The end of year swim gala is a must! Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
