We’ve had a wonderful experience with the swimming academy over the past four years. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our son. He has really enjoyed his swimming lessons, grown so much in confidence, and come such a long way.  Thank you to the whole team!

I honestly don't know where to begin when it comes to recommending Whitings Swimming Academy, Olivia and her incredible team. Five stars simply doesn't feel enough.

All three of my boys have had the most wonderful experience here. From the very beginning, what stood out to me was that this isn't simply a swimming school where children are moved through lessons and taught a set of skills. The children are genuinely known, encouraged and cared about as individuals.

Olivia is someone who quite clearly does not do this simply as a business. There is an absolute passion behind what she does, and you can see it in the way she knows the children, celebrates their progress and genuinely wants every single one of them to succeed and feel confident in the water.

Her staff are equally amazing. The patience they have is honestly something else! They make lessons fun and enjoyable while still teaching the children properly and helping them progress. They encourage without putting pressure on them, laugh with them, build their confidence and somehow manage to get the best out of each child.

My boys have always genuinely looked forward to their swimming lessons. We love this swim school so much that one of my boys actually attended his swimming lesson on his birthday! 😂❤️ If that doesn't tell you how much they enjoy being there, I don't know what will!

For our family personally, one of the things I will be forever grateful for is the way Olivia and her team have supported one of my son, who is autistic.

Finding activities where a child with additional needs is genuinely understood, included and supported in the way they need can be incredibly difficult. With Olivia and her team, I have never once had to worry about that.

They took the time to understand him. They were patient when he needed patience, adapted when he needed something done differently and encouraged him without overwhelming him. Most importantly, they made him feel comfortable, confident and just as much a part of the group as every other child.

That means more to a parent than I could ever properly put into words.

And the results speak for themselves. I've watched all three of my boys become so much more confident in the water while having an absolute laugh along the way. Their lessons have never felt like a chore to them. They have learned, progressed, had fun and built such lovely relationships with their teachers.

There is a warmth to this swimming academy that you simply cannot manufacture. You can teach someone how to deliver a swimming lesson, but you cannot teach someone to genuinely care. That comes from the people behind it, and Olivia has clearly created a team who share her values, patience and passion.

In a world where so many things can feel increasingly transactional, it has been incredibly refreshing to find someone who puts so much heart into what she does. You never feel like your children are simply another booking or another payment. They matter.

I would recommend Olivia and her team without hesitation, but particularly to parents who may have a child with additional needs and worry about whether they will be understood or supported. Our experience has been nothing but positive, patient, supportive and kind.

Olivia, thank you for everything you and your team have done for my boys. Thank you for every bit of patience, every adjustment, every laugh, every word of encouragement and every little confidence boost along the way.

What you have created is incredibly special, and the impact you've had on our family means more than you know.

The boys can't wait to jump back in again! ❤️🏊‍♂️

An absolutely wonderful swimming academy run by people who genuinely care about the children they teach. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Whitings Swimming Academy is a fantastic swim school. Both of my daughters have successfully learnt to swim and be confident in the water with excellent tuition. There is a fully inclusive approach and children with a whole range of needs and abilities are able to develop a love of swimming.

My two sons (5 & 7) have been taking swim lessons here for a year now and are doing amazingly thanks to Olivia and the swim team ! My boys had never swam before and are now so confident in the water - great knowledgable teachers - the courses are run very well.
I am so grateful to have found such an excellent swim school in Barnet ! I cannot recommend them enough - we look forward to the summer crash courses !
