★★★★★Featured review by Catherine Duce

I can hugely recommend the baby and toddler swimming classes on Wednesday and Thursdays at Park Road, Crouch End. Stella is an absolutely brilliant teacher. She’s is very experienced and professional but also really fun and engaging. Thank you! Such good value (c.£7.50 a class) compared to other private classes. Her classes are on Wednesdays and Thursdays. They include Toddler Parent 10-10.30 Pre- school 10.30-11.00 Babies and parent 11-11.30 Pre- School 11.30-12.00 Really sets your child up well for school swimming.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Families booking baby and toddler swim classes with Stella on Wednesdays or Thursdays are getting one of the better-value, better-taught lesson programmes in the area — that's the clear reason to come here. For general leisure swimming, the lido and indoor pool have too many unresolved maintenance issues to recommend as a reliable day out.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

Bring your own padlock for changing room lockers — coins do not work
🎟️Call the centre on the morning of your visit to confirm it is open before travelling

We’ve had a really wonderful time taking our son to the preschool swimming classes! Stella is amazing with the kids, keeps it fun and is so engaging. To top it off the classes are so reasonably priced!!
