Qualified and Enthusiastic Teachers
At Happy Fins, we hire people who understand our ethos and share our passion for the water.

Hands-on Teaching Without Buoyancy Aids.
We don’t think it is right to teach your child to swim with a buoyancy aid and then have to re-teach them to swim without it.
The fundamentals of swimming include the ability to float and master buoyancy: our lessons begin right there. Our instructors act as your child’s support until they are ready to swim alone.

A family-run swim school creating a family-friendly environment
Happy Fins has been shaped by parents, swimmers, and instructors to be more than just a swim school; what we’ve actually built is a supportive, close-knit swimming community.
Together, we nurture a love of swimming, build confidence, and keep children safe in the water.
What families say
Kind words about our
1-to-1 and 2-to-1 lessons
“My daughter started with Happy Fins on 1st June and had never swum without floats. She has gained huge confidence and has come on leaps and bounds in a short time.
The 2-to-1 lessons are really great, and my daughter looks forward to her lessons every week. She loves her teachers, Kevin initially and now Henry, they make lessons fun as well as learning, and there is plenty of encouragement and high fives!”

“My two children have just started lessons and love it.
My autistic son has 1-1 lessons with Liam who is very patient, understanding and resilient to my sons needs. He makes the lessons fun, and it's lovely to hear my son’s laughter for the whole session.
My daughter swims with Tristan, who again is amazing and makes the lessons so much fun for her. Although it has only been a few sessions, both children love their lessons and instructors.”
- Natalie Bee

“My daughter loves the 1:2 teacher-to-student ratio.
We've struggled to find a swim school that didn't feel too serious and leave her disengaged, but this one is completely different. She's already made a friend, as the teacher thoughtfully paired her with another child of similar ability. By lesson two, she's already excited to attend!
The teacher, Liam, is wonderful, and I especially love the certificates and badges that visually show my 6-year-old what she's achieving. Plus, we get verbal feedback after every lesson.”
