About Us

About Us

The rumors are true... the legend is officially making waves! We are thrilled to introduce the ultimate graphic asset for Bigfoot’s Swimming School! Say goodbye to boring logos and hello to our cheerful, high-flying, butterfly-stroking Bigfoot.

Bigfoot’s Swimming School logo and mascot captures exactly what we stand for: power, joy, and making a massive splash! From his comical oversized goggles to those explosive, dynamic splashes breaking out of the frame, our mascot is charging straight into the deep end—and we want you to join him.
Our goal is to make sure every student builds big confidence, learns vital water safety skills, and has a splashing good time in the pool!

Testimonial

I have received an amazing testimonial from Leighanne Cox , Thank you 🥰

I’d highly recommend Anton! He taught at the swim school my son attended for many years, and although he never taught my son personally, I watched him teach so many children from the side of the pool.

The improvement in some of the children after just a few lessons was honestly amazing to see. He’s so patient and really seems to get the best out of the kids. I particularly remember watching him teach a child with additional need’s and the patience he showed was brilliant.

You can tell he genuinely cares about the kids and wants them to do well. Wishing you lots of luck with the new swim school, Anton — you’ll be great! 👏🏊‍♂️
