# AquaSharks Swim School
AquaSharks is an independent, family-run swim school based in Irvine, KA11 2DP, serving learners from age 3 through to adults. Founded by owner and swim teacher Susan Pollock, the school specialises in building water confidence, teaching essential water safety skills, and developing proper swimming techniques in a supportive environment.
The business caters to children requiring additional support needs as well as mainstream learners, offering tailored instruction across all ability levels. Their commitment to personalised teaching sets them apart: all instructors teach from within the pool itself, enabling direct engagement with students to build confidence rapidly. Small group classes are deliberately capped at just 5 children per instructor (reduced to 3 for additional support needs learners), ensuring individual attention that larger facilities cannot provide.
AquaSharks' proprietary progression system—their custom AquaSharks Levels—tracks and celebrates student advancement, motivating continued engagement. The school holds Swim Star accreditation, guaranteeing safe facilities and highly qualified instructors. They recognise family circumstances through a generous 10% sibling discount when multiple children enrol in the same term, reducing barriers to access for households with several young swimmers.
One-to-one lessons are available for both children and adults seeking intensive stroke improvement or confidence building. With expansion planned to Glasgow, AquaSharks is establishing itself as a quality alternative to corporate chain swim schools, prioritising meaningful relationships and genuine skill development over volume.
