Splash-Happy Swimschool provide quality swimming lessons in Bristol to small groups of children and adults, from Non-swimmer to pre-competition. Children can start in the mainstream lessons from age 3 years and 6 months. Teachers work with assistants in the water to encourage and inspire the young learner to participate fully and have fun while learning.
Younger children may join a parent in the water on certain dates throughout the year in a specialist class i.e Toddler and Adult, or Preschool and adult sessions. As the learner progresses up through the higher ability groups the teacher will teach from poolside as this allows good observation of technique and opportunity for individual and group feedback.

Services
The lessons are tailored to the age and ability of the learners, and where possible following appropriate risk assessments we offer a full inclusion policy. The Non-swimmers class is suitable for learners who need to build confidence before they attempt their first strokes unaided.
The Improver 1 class is suitable for learners who have mastered swimming across the width of the pool on their front and back and are now ready to turn their front and back paddle into Freestyle and Backstroke.Breaststroke will also be introduced at this level. The Improver 2 class is suitable for learners who are able to swim 25m+ and who need stroke improvement over all four competitive strokes along with basic personal survival skills.

WOW! Hazel was incredible today. My son (6 years, non swimmer) really dug his heels in at having to go swimming without his mum or dad in with him. It felt like a huge achievement just to get him to the pool and then into his togs and then onto the poolside. I thought there's no way he'll get in, he was really dug-in and resistant. I thought he might get in in a week or two.
But low and behold Hazel just chipped away and warmed him up and within 15min he was in the water with a massive smile and huge sense of achievement. I'm still in shock at Hazel's mastery. At the end he said "I can't wait

Really like this swim school. We’ve tried some lessons at a private gym before moving to this school and our son’s swimming has progressed really well in the seven months we’ve gone to lessons here. Pool facilities at Clifton High are pretty grotty, but the young teachers (two in the pool per swim group of around 5/6 children) are very good and very encouraging.

No issues with the swimming lessons and the teaching. Though recently my child had Chicken pox. I notified Splash happy via email, of my sons condition at my earliest opportunity. I said he would not be able to swim at his next lesson (in 5 days time) and if we could have another lesson at a future date following the illness.
First I was told that lessons could not be “rescheduled ” following a missed lesson. I emailed pointing to the email sent prior to his lesson notifying of my sons condition. I was then informed that an alternative lesson could not be provided for “normal childhood illnesses
