Our values and commitment to you
Flexibility
Appreciation
Compassion
We care
We welcome all families with our warmth and exclude no-one. We care about our families and are compassionate toward them. We’re helpful and very engaged. Our customers trust us because they know we work hard to achieve the best results.
Quick response
Personalisation
Our teachers and administrators will always remember you and your child’s name! Not only that, we give our customers a voice to express their needs and expectations. Everyone is valuable to us and we ensure this is felt by our families.
Empathy
We are here to listen and acknowledge your thoughts and emotions. We treat our families like individuals rather than another number on the list. We pride ourselves on developing true and long-lasting relationships with our families and respect for equality and diversity is paramount to us.
Feedback and improvements
We are always challenging the norm with our programme and service, so we don’t have a business model to look at when it comes to creating everything we do; from the swimming programmes, swimming instructor training, booking systems etc. For us, it is a continuous learning journey. This is why we need your constructive feedback to identify areas in need of improvement and ensure we continue to achieve our mission to “never leave anyone behind” when it comes to teaching water safety and swimming skills.
Growing as a community
Trust
Our ISA family grows through recommendations, which means so much to us. Many of our families came to us after hearing about our programme at school, from family members or even at other activities! It is so beautiful to see how the children make new swimming friends and enjoy swimming alongside some familiar faces too!

Silvia & Miguel,
Words cannot express my gratitude to the both of you for the excellent work you have done for Noah.
He changed from a boy who hated water on his face and eyes to one who can swim powerfully across the pool, with different techniques in his repertoire and with confidence too.
Thank you so much for your patience and firmness.

ISA,
This programme is a very valuable service to have, especially for children of special needs that can not take part in mainstream swimming classes. The level of immersion works really well in combination with the care and sensitivity they have for all the children. This method of teaching shows that anyone can learn to swim, no matter what age or ability!

We are absolutely thrilled with JJ's progress with ISA!
JJ had done a lot of the programme while in Australia but we couldn't find a good swimming school in the UK. So it had been 2 years since his last lesson when he started with ISA. He was very scared of water at the beginning and he used to cling to his instructor... Seeing him, after just one term, floating, swimming and looking forwards to coming to swimming lessons is remarkable! Thank you!

To the ISA team,
William and Finn were camping with their dad in Cornwall last weekend. Chris just texted to say that William was climbing on some rocks by the water, slipped and accidentally, he fell into the water. Immediately rolled onto his back, starfish! then, onto his front and kicked to the shore. He is ok.
What would we do without ISA?

We have been with ISA over a year now and cannot praise the teachers enough!
Our 2 boys have had lessons with all four different teachers who have all been equally caring and firm when required. The technique itself is also very unique with the emphasis on floating early on which gives parents the peace of mind around pools on holidays. The boys now love coming back for lessons and are very comfortable in the water.

We are very happy!
It is always easy to speak to the team with questions, concerns or suggestions and we always get a quick and suitable response...! I was very impressed watching the instructor in-house training to understand more details about your approach.
