My son has just achieved his 5m swim certificate and I can’t thank Will and the team at star swimming enough for their patience and dedication they have shown teaching Hugo to swim. Hugo was very scared initially at learning to swim and wouldn’t even get in the pool. This changed immediately on meeting Will who was so funny even I couldn’t help but laugh. Will is 100% focused and in the moment with every child I have seen him teach. I watched my sons confidence grow as he played with Will in the water. He was having so much fun I don’t think he even realised he was learning to swim. I can’t believe how quickly Hugo has gone from being scared of putting his face in the water to actually swimming unaided. Now there’s no stopping him. I can highly recommend Will and the team at star swimming.

7/18/2018 My Ivy loves her swimming lessons at De La Salle so much; she idolises Julie who I must say has the patience of a saint with her when she's wanting to cuddle her all the time! Would recommend this company to everyone!

6/04/2018 My 6 year old daughter has just finished a weeks crash course with Julie & Tracy. Before starting here she’d had 18 months worth of lessons with a different swimming business but she wasn’t enjoying them and didn’t feel confident in the water so we decided to give star swimming a try! The progress Amelie has made in such a short space of time is unbelievable! she is now full of confidence and has really enjoyed this week, I am so proud of her!! Thank you so much Julie & Tracy for helping Amelie realise she can do it! I am so grateful to you both!! �����xx

7/01/2017 These guys taught my son to swim from when he was 3 years old - yes 3 years old, it was the only place in Knowsley at the time that were teaching children under 5. Nowhere else was teaching under 5's. Their lessons are fun, friendly and professional. They're very approachable and they are so passionate about teaching children a life saving skill that is swimming. These guys are the best out there at what they do- first class. � Berny Thorb

5/11/2017 - I've had the pleasure to work with Will, Tracy and the instructors of the Star Swimming Academy for over 6 years as their Web/Graphic designer and it’s been so rewarding for me to see how hard they work to teach and encourage children to swim! It's a testimony to their hard work that the Star Swimming Academy has been recognised by many as one if not the best Learn to Swim Organisations in Merseyside! Keep up the wonderful work, 2017 is your year to gain more well deserved acknowledgements/awards for what you all do!
John Connerty
5/11/2017 A wonderful swim school, the teachers genuinely care about their swimmers, ensuring that you get excellent value for money. Your kids will love the class and will learn very quickly.
Will, Tracy and the team are superb. Professional, caring and conscientious.
I was lucky enough to teach alongside the team for a few years and learnt a lot about what makes a good swimming lesson from Will and the other teachers at Star Swimming
Academy. Michael James

A happy child is a happy mummy and daddy. Well done Will and your Team you are a credit to helping kids learn to swim. Helen Hall Cameron

Food for Thought
John Lennon quoted:
“If the Beatles or the Sixties had a message, it was learn to swim. Period. And once you learn to swim, swim. You make your own dream. That’s the Beatles’ story, isn’t it?”
We love this saying, however we decided to create our own one:
“We cannot make you into the Beatles but we will teach you to swim and have fun at the same time, that is not our dream, that is reality. Period!”.
