# Sailfish Swim School
Sailfish Swim School operates from Bradgate Pool in Ipswich, a purpose-built 40ft x 20ft facility offering a dedicated space for swimming instruction and aquatic activities. The school specialises in teaching children from 3 years old through the ASA swim levels 1-10, with a strong track record of developing confident swimmers who progress to competitive clubs, water polo teams and lifesaving organisations.
The school distinguishes itself through qualified instruction and rigorous safeguarding standards. All instructors are ASA-qualified with IOS insurance and DBS checks, backed by substantial professional experience. Small class ratios of 3 children to 1 instructor ensure personalised attention and progressive skill development.
The facility itself sets Sailfish apart. Bradgate Pool maintains a warm 31°C ideal for younger learners, with both shallow (2.3ft) and deep (8.8ft) ends. The premises offer excellent amenities including male and female changing facilities, showers, hairdryers, free parking, and a gallery walkway with comfortable seating for observing lessons.
Beyond group lessons, Sailfish provides flexible options including one-to-one tuition, parent-and-child sessions, fast-track holiday programmes, and Rookie Lifeguard training. Their birthday party service adds another dimension to their offering.
Currently operating at near capacity with limited beginner spaces, Sailfish represents a premium local option for families seeking structured, professional swimming instruction in a safe, clean environment.
