What our dear customers have to say
We absolutely love our swimming classes! Gemma is an incredibly informed and knowledgeable instructor. Her classes are progressive yet gentle and always child led. Gemma leads with a calm and kind manner and follows my daughter’s cues as to what she teaches during each session. Her classes have given my baby and myself such confidence in the water and it is a joy to see my daughter progress at her own pace. Thank you Gemma!
Adult & Child parent Friday Cranleigh Golf Club
Our twin daughters, both 5 years old, have been attending weekly swimming lessons with Tom, and they've been thriving! We were a little worried at first because they weren't very confident in the water, but Tom has been absolutely brilliant from day one.
He has such a calm, patient, and playful teaching style that makes the lessons feel like fun rather than work. The girls adore him, they get so excited on lesson days and often chat about what they'll do next. Tom does a great job keeping them both engaged, sometimes with little twin-friendly games or challenges that encourage them without any pressure. It's been wonderful watching them build skills together: they've gone from hesitant floating to confident kicking, good breath control, and even swimming short distances on their own. Their confidence has grown so much, and now they can't wait to show off their new moves!
What we appreciate most is the safe, supportive, and professional atmosphere at Swim Safe. The focus on water safety and enjoyment shines through, and Tom always takes a moment after class to update us on their progress and suggest things to practice at home. It makes us feel like true partners in their learning.
Thank you so much to Tom and the whole team, you've turned swimming into something our girls genuinely love and look forward to. We're so grateful for the positive difference it's making!

I would like to say how impressed I have been. Our grandchildren started having lessons from babies. Our four year old and two year old are now swimming so well and have learnt how to be safe in the water.
Swimming without floats - amazing.
They absolutely love there swimming lessons, the swimming teacher is so caring and is excellent with the children.
Every activity in the lesson is fun and learning though play from a young age has helped stimulate curiosity whilst working towards a goal. I have been so impressed with the results.

My boys have been taught by both Maryanne and Angela and both are highly experienced, patient, fun teachers. The small class sizes are a massive bonus, so they are swimming for the majority of the half an hour and not getting cold sitting on the side of the pool. My three year old has just started and loves it too. Also, the Cranleigh Country Club pool isn’t freezing unlike other public pools in the area!!

Swimming is a vital life skill. All my children have thoroughly enjoyed learning with swim safe. The one to one tuition is clear and thorough, and you know you are getting top class tuition and investing in their future. My children range from nervous beginner to keen competitor and all of their needs are catered for. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren and his team.
Susie Bounous
I have been extremely impressed with the high standards of teaching at Swim Safe School. Darren really makes an effort to get to know all of the children and ensures they achieve their full potential at every lesson whilst maintaining a sense of fun. My three children actively look forward to their lessons each week and have made enormous progress in the year since they joined the school.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the results. Within a really short space of time, our 5 year old daughter was able to swim confidently and impressively! The lessons are always fun.
Elizabeth Mann
Darren is an intuitive swimming teacher who brings out the swimmer in all children! He is focused, appropriately firm and the lessons are the right mix of stroke work but are also fun! Such a dedicated swimming teacher is hard to find!
