Bannatynes Ayr

Learning to swim at a young age is an important life skill that can not only save lives but also provide an enjoyable and healthy activity throughout one’s life.
Our program is for 3-11 year olds and has experienced teachers with a focus on both fun and water safety.

We have small class sizes and teachers in the water for foundation lessons that can help children feel more comfortable and confident in the water.
We want to celebrate swimmers’ achievements with certificates and milestone awards.
We have a convenient simple online booking process on a monthly direct debit payment system, which can make it easier for parents. We look forward to seeing you down the pool.

our children both love coming to there lessons. one who isnt very confident in water, is starting to really flourish and come out of her shell, with more confidence and starting to enjoy her swimming lessons.

Great teaching. My child has come on a lot recently, being appropriately pushed by teachers and now is out of armbands and moved up a level. Very impressed with the teaching and would definitely recommend to others.

Lovely and enthusiastic swim teachers. Clean pools with good facilities so a great environment for kids to learn to swim.

We are really pleased with our sons progress in the lessons and the staff are great!

My daughter has been very well supported since she started and is definitely improving in her water confidence although still got some way to go. Mainly it is the confidence to be in the water without me or her dad. Very happy with her progress so far

I've seen all the kids improve including mine. Staff are great!

John

Excellent atmosphere for small children to feel comfortable, owing to the approach the instructor takes - not too strict whilst getting the message over successfully! My granddaughter loves coming.

Jean

My daughters swimming teacher is amazing. She interacts with the children amazingly and is constantly giving them feedback about their technique as they swim.

Kelly

Small classes and both my children love their teacher. They have progressed so much since they first started and are very confident in the water.

Rachel

My daughter was terrified of the water, we've often been asked to leave the pool because she's unhappy. But since coming to Swimstars she's happy to be in the pool, happier to put her face in the water. And she's swimming! It's amazing. Thank you so much for giving her the confidence and teaching her to swim. She loves Tuesday nights now, and I couldn't be more proud of her. Thank you 😊
