What our members think
Coach Felipe at GetSetGo is awesome! My 9 year old loves to work with him. He is skilled, patient, works at my son's pace, and makes the swim session a fun experience!
Always a fantastic experience for all ages! All of the teachers have a wealth of experience and oodles of patience. Special shout out to Filipe for taking lessons with both of my girls this week!
We booked a 4 day crash course and it’s been great. The instructor, Philippe, was really knowledgeable, patient, and helped to boost confidence during each session!
Ralph was adept at helping our nervous child settle into their lesson - encouraging and fun, never pushy. He clearly has a very thorough knowledge of the core skills but it's really his ability to make the learning fun that makes him exceptional. Not only have they made fantastic progress but it's the highlight of their week! Another appreciation post for Anna too - she makes the post-swim juggle that little bit easier and her warm welcome has cheered me on many times.
Felipe is brilliant and I’m very grateful that he’s teaching my daughter. My 8yo daughter says that: ‘he never gives up on his students’, ‘he’s fun and kind’ and ‘he doesn’t care about getting his head wet!’ (Rather than just telling the kids what to do, he actually demonstrates the techniques to them in the water). She adds that ‘he is very descriptive’ (good at explaining and instructing). She always looks forward to her lessons. Thanks Felipe!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We're so glad to hear that you love the club and we will make sure to pass on your kind words to the team. We look forward to seeing you in the club very soon. 
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing lady who keeps GetSetGo so clean and welcoming! Not only does she do a fantastic job maintaining the place spotless, but she also goes above and beyond to help moms and little ones in every way she can. She’s always cheerful, reminding busy parents to take their belongings (which is so easy to forget when handling little ones!), and if something is left behind, she keeps it safe and somehow always remembers exactly who it belongs to! Her kindness, dedication, and warm smile have been a constant since the place opened years ago, and it truly makes a difference. Thank you for all that you do! 🙂

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Anna will be absolutely thrilled to read this. She is so passionate about her work, we are very lucky to have her. 
Our son has recently moved to Felipe and we see a clear structured lesson that focuses on technique. Felipe has a great approach and makes the lesson both educational and fun.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased to hear you are enjoying your lessons. Felipe is a true asset! 
Our 8 year old has been having swimming lessons here for 3 years. He really enjoys every session and has progressed really well technically.

Thank you Flavia. Felipe will be thrilled to hear this! 
We’re really pleased with the excellent progress our 7-month old has made in her swimming lessons. Huge thanks to Marcelo especially and also the team at Get Set Go. Our baby is happy in the water & relaxed with a good amount of submerging. She readily reaches for the side of the pool. Marcelo has engaged & taught her in such a way that she is very good at kicking. Thank you.
Felipe is a brilliant instructor! I can’t believe the progress our son made in 4 lessons and doing the backstroke already. He is calm and instills confidence in our son and a massive sense of achievement. He truly makes him feel calm and comfortable in the water, encouraging but in a calm comfortable manner. Clearly an excellent instructor! Thanks Felipe!!
Our kids have been swimming with Get Set Go since their opening after COVID, and we've been consistently impressed with the quality of teaching. Every instructor we've had has been friendly, professional, and great with the kids. Recently, our daughter switched to Felipe, and he’s been fantastic – she loves her lessons and always has fun. Our son also enjoys his sessions just as much. Special mention to Ashton, Theo, Emre and Beth, who are both brilliant teachers too. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!
GetSetGo is amazing. Hands down the best place to take your baby, toddler or child for swimming lessons. The team are friendly and professional and all three of my children love their weekly seesions! It’s kept immaculately clean as well with great facilities. It’s so much better than where we used to go in London. Thanks to GetSetGo my twins can swim unaided at just three and our 18 month old is also a water baby. Swimming is really important to me as a swimmer and I only have positive things to say about GetSetGo. It’s also right by Putney Station and East Putney Underground and there is ample parking nearby so we find it a really convenient place to get to. Thank you everyone at GetSetGo!
