Swimming class 4- 5 year olds
My 4 year has been having weekly swimming lessons in the training pool with Wendy and her team for over a year now and her progress has been brilliant. Her confidence has improved and she's now able to go under water and swim with support. The staff are great and patient, especially Holly. The instructors get in the water with the kids but push them to try things out of their comfort zone and have fun at the same time. I also appreciate the discipline of the class which creates a serious, yet fun, and safe environment.

Hi Jessica,
I hope this message finds you well!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your daughter's remarkable progress and the growing confidence she is developing in the water. It truly warms our hearts to see her flourish.
Our team, including Wendy, Holly, and the rest of our dedicated instructors, invests a great deal of time and effort into creating a nurturing and engaging environment for all our young learners. We believe that swimming should be a joyous experience, and we strive to ensure that every child feels supported as they explore their abilities.
We particularly appreciate your recognition of the balance we work hard to maintain. It's vital for us to encourage children to challenge themselves while ensuring that every lesson is conducted in a safe, structured, and enjoyable manner. We understand that each child progresses at their own pace, and we take pride in tailoring our approach to fit their individual needs.
Thank you once again for your continued support and trust in our program. We are excited to see even more progress in the weeks ahead and look forward to celebrating your daughter’s achievements together!
Warm regards,

High praise…
Both of my children learned to swim here. Firstly in Wendy’s foundation class, then with Bobbi and Lisa working through the different development levels. Excellent teachers who make learning fun whilst challenging the children to improve their swimming skills. My daughter continues to work towards the academy level and loves her weekly class with Bobbi and Lisa. Highly recommend!

Hi there we were at the swimming pool…
Hi there we were at the swimming pool with my 2 kids as my son had been doing classes for the last 3 years and my daughter 1 year, I spoke to Wendy what’s happening why all the other kids are moving to the big swimming pool and he is still in the small one. She was doing all faces and ignoring and she was not helping my kids at all. I think this is unacceptable

Hi Blerim,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We greatly appreciate your feedback, though we’re truly sorry to hear that both you and your children did not feel adequately supported during your recent visit. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and we want you to know that we take your concerns very seriously.
We understand how vital it is for every child to feel encouraged and treated fairly, particularly in a setting designed to nurture their skills and confidence, such as swimming classes. It can be disheartening for children when they feel overlooked, and we regret that this was your family's experience.
Your family's commitment to our program over the years has not gone unnoticed, and we genuinely value your loyalty. To ensure your children receive the positive and rewarding experience they deserve, we would love the opportunity to discuss this matter further. We are committed to making the necessary improvements and would welcome any additional feedback or suggestions you may have.
Thank you once again for reaching out to us. We look forward to working together to create a better experience for your children and all our participants.
Best regards,
Charmaine

Both of my children have had swimming lessons at Ironmonger and we couldn’t be more grateful for the patience of Wendy, Lisa, Bobbie and Lydia!
They really have been so kind, patient and encouraging while teaching my son to swim and they are always kind and welcoming when they see us.
It’s so nice bringing my son in for lessons, we immediately feel part of the family.
We couldn’t ask for a nicer group of people to teach our children this life long skill. Keep up the excellent work ladies!!

Dance Fitness with Nadia is a fabulous experience, she explains each step of the dance in detail and shows you. The class is a great workout and feel exhilarating at the end of class. Will always attend this class, it has a great vibe and great music.
Yoga with Marta on a Saturday morning, is a excellent class, tells you the reason for each stretch and movement, always leave the class refreshed.

Pilates class with Katy
Pilates class with Katy. She is one of the best Pilates teachers that I have ever had. Experienced, personable, very professional and an excellent teacher. Classes are always enjoyable. And at the right level for most of us - challenging but not impossible!
Gym is light and airy and spotlessly clean. Apparatus is fairly good. Roomy changing rooms. Always a pleasure coming here.

Pilates cover teacher
The Pilates class on Sunday 6th April was covered by a woman called Tawa, whom Katy frequently uses for cover. Her classes are neither safe nor effective, indeed some of the coaching “tips” she gives are downright dangerous. She is also rude to people. I am dismayed that she is still teaching Pilates at Ironmonger Row Baths when this information has already been fed back to the centre and to Katy. The classes manager and Katy need to go and witness it for themselves.

Great swimming pool
We've been coming to Ironmonger Row Baths close to 10 years. Both of my kids learned how to swim here.
The facilities are freshly decorated and are kept tidy and clean. They operate a no shoes policy in the changing rooms and near the pool to help with the cleanliness and whilst not all visitors adhere to it, the number of those who do is on the rise. There is a family changing room.
Kids swimming lessons are of a very high standard thanks to the enthusiastic and engaging coaches. There is a shallow pool for beginner kids and a large pool (25+ metres with a deep end) for more advanced learners and lane swimming.
