I have done many great things in my
Life but having Jose teaching my wife and I swimming has to be up there as one of the best experience. Yes it is pricey however, the level of expertise you get especially from Jose is unreal. Thank you Jose for all what you have done. Never thought I could be able to do what I am doing now. You are truly a blessing. Much love from Daniel and Georgina.

I’ve been struggling to learn to swim for over 10 years now and after nearly drowning whilst on holiday a deep rooted fear held me back.
The Aquaphobia training I had with Sarada at the start of my lessons (women only), have been life changing, it’s as if something was unlocked in my brain. By the third lesson I was able to swim the length at SaS, and recently I went swimming at my local leisure centre and swam 25m twice, non stop, something which I thought I’d never be able to achieve in a million years, let alone so quickly.
So I just wanted to give feedback that this approach is excellent and has been life changing. I’m now obsessed with swimming and can’t wait to keep improving!

Lovely child-centred swim instructors, small groups. My daughters were initially really nervous but they’ve made massive progress since they started going to Love to Swim classes

Jose was such a patient teacher, really supported my fears and anxieties. Took things at my pace, yet still challenging me to develop in my journey to learning to swim

Excellent experience and great value for money! I am so happy and feel so grateful to have come across Love to Swim! I had a group adult class with swim teacher Jose at Crowne Plaza Docklands Hotel and I am very satisfied with my experience and progress made! Jose is very professional, supportive and friendly and always very helpful with feedback on how to improve and progress. I am impressed with the style and ease of class format and how quick we got to perform and progress on our crawl and back strokes. The pace of the classes is very well thought of and it seems designed to make students get quickly comfortable in water and learning new techniques. Highly recommend! Money well spent!

Teacher Jose is very patient and good at what he does. Following his tips at the improver course I felt that my technique improved quite a bit just after a few classes. I can't recommend him enough.

We have start with them in 2008 when our son was 1 year old.
Then our daughter start with coach Jose - such a lovely person. He also encourage me to start to swim and I can trust only him. So happy to spend so many years with them.

Jose is a very good teacher with lots of patience with children. If your child is afraid of being in the water and refuse to learn swim, take them to Jose:)

My parents were both lifeguards (that's how they met), but sadly me and my sister had childhood asthma (after growing up in London), so our school swimming lessons were not helpful. We did not inherit the swimming gene!!! I'm now in my 30s and decided after many a holiday sitting by the pool or sea, it was time to start learning. I was hesitant at first, but can honestly say Jose is great. My confidence and skill has greatly improved (from zero to now being able to actually put my head under water and swim a couple of lengths!!!) Would I recommend him and the swimming lessons......DEFINITELY!!! He is a great teacher, with lots of patience and able to have a joke too! Will I be back for more lessons? ALSO DEFINTELY !!

My children have loved swimming and progressed really well over the last 2 years. Thanks Love to Swim and an extra special thanks to Jose, keep doing a great job!

Phenomenal swimming teaching in a compassionate way. We had Jose as our children’s swimming instructor for almost 7 years! He taught both girls from toddler to tweens. Both girls thrived in the teaching environment and are now really strong swimmers for their age. Highly recommend this swimming school and Jose.
I did 5 adult beginner lessons with Jose and was so happy with the lessons. He made me feel more comfortable and confident in the water. After 5 lessons, I learnt so much that I can swim a little (need more practice) but a massive improvement from where I started. Jose is a really nice and patient instructor. I was hesitant to book so many lessons as wasn’t sure if I’d like it but once I had one lesson, I was excited to go back. I wish I did the lessons earlier in life but better late than never!

Love to Swim have been a fantastic company at supporting my two year year old with swimming. Since we have started (it’s now been two months) there has never been an unnecessary cancellations or change of instructor. Josè has been 100% consistent and reliable, my daughter is always excited to see him every week. In fact, she does better knowing that she will be praised by him which is important for children.
I am extremely happy I came across this company as I am always trying to recommend them to others, hopefully they can expand some more!

I started my lessons as a beginner in one crown plaza and left as an advanced in 3 months. This was possible thanks to the wonderful swimming instructor Jose!
Really thankful for his time and happy to be able to swim in all different styles!

The swimming coach Luiza is an excellent teacher and you can clearly feel and see she loves kids and her role.

I booked my swimming class at Love to Swim Crowne Plaza Hotel last November. My swimming technic was poor and I was afraid of putting my head under the water.
After 2 beginner sessions I was advised to try the improvers team. My anxiety has quickly disappeared and my technic has rapidly improved. Jose is a fantastic instructor with a really nice personality. I am grateful for him to be patient, caring and always sharing extra useful tips.
So now I can swim!
Love to Swim Team&Jose are highly recommended!

The swim Class I took in Docklands Crowne Plaza with Jose was an absolute joy! I began my first swim class in Dec 2021 and have achieved my swim certificate by the end of March 2022! I can Swim!!!! Yes!!!!
I searched high and low for swim classes that were reasonable with good reviews until I come across love to swim at Docklands Crowne Plaza.
From the moment I enquired via email for swim lesson I received fast response from Lesley and with support I was booked into my first lesson.
The customer service and fast response from Lesley was always efficient! And then I was even more lucky to have one of the best teacher at Crowne Plaza Jose.
I was extremely nervous and scared of the pool but within the first lesson from the moment go, Jose made me comfortable and at ease in the water. I can’t praise Jose enough to say how confident he makes you feel in the water to help you learn how to swim. He is very encouraging and teaches you patiently making you feel safe. I had no idea in a space of few months I will be learning how to swim and this was only possible with having Jose as my swim instructor.
Jose is very welcoming and ensured I was applying the right techniques to learn to swim and as hard as it was to learn I was always motivated to come back for my next swim class because of Jose making me feel confident each time. My attendance was consistent and by end of March I can now go onto swimming on my own!
Thank you Lesley for your fantastic communication/customer service and Jose for being the best swim instructor I can ever have.
Bonus points with swimming at Crowne Plaza was having a spa experience while learning to swim as Crowne plaza is a spa pool!
