Where spaces are available enrolments continue up until the half term of each term.

Isaac has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and we were looking for somewhere to accommodate him in learning water safety and swimming as much as possible. In at the Deep End offered private lessons meaning Isaac did not get distracted or bored and in addition had great knowledge of autism. He has been attending lessons for a while now and absolutely loves them. He looks forward to his lesson each week. He has progressed so much and is swimming without floats and knows water safety. This is all thanks to the fabulous teaching and understanding of his ASD from in at the deep end. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Matthew started Swim a Song when he was about 4 months old. He loves the water and can’t wait to jump in! Louise is a fab teacher and her class set up is great.

Thank you to the staff who are so supportive, patient and caring. They have helped Ronnie’s confidence grow in the water. The classes are always fun and engaging.

Katie has been with IATDE since 2019 and really enjoys her classes. We have had to change the day of her classes a couple of times and the company has been very accommodating with this. It has meant that Katie has had a few different teachers but they are all as great as each other!
