Swimming; is one of the most participated sports in England and one of the popular leisure activities for children and adults. Swimming is a life skill as well as a beloved family leisure activity.
Sport England puts swimming at number 5 in the list of most popular sports participated in England. This is why learning to swim is important.
The majority of parents include swim lessons in their children’s after-school activities, specially for children aged 0 to 10 years old.
This explains the popularity of swimming lessons all year round.
Parents love to see their children are confident swimmers when they go to pools, water parks, and beaches- this is what makes holidays fun for families.
So, having an assurance that you and your children are confident swimmers, is a must, to enjoy your beach holidays fully.
Unfortunately, there are nearly 400 drowning incidents in the U.K each year and 40 of those are children and young people.
One of the best ways to prevent drowning is to make sure you and your children can actually swim.
Based on Swim England recommendations, a child is a competent swimmer and water-safe when:
A child never learns to swim, very likely will become an adult who will not be able to enjoy water
A few surveys in the U.K showed more than half of adults who think they are swimmers, actually don’t even have the necessary water safety skills to survive in water.
So, do you want your child to have the water-skills required to enjoy the water safely?
If yes, book professional swimming lessons before you head to the next swim! We provide lessons for all ages, including adults.

Easter 2021 Crash Course
Various lockdowns have held back my daughter’s swimming development so we opted for a crash 4 day course over Easter and she has come away from it much more confident and with a recognisable stroke as opposed to doggy paddle!

Although I have only attended two lessons, Marjan’s bubbly personality makes you feel instantly at ease. During the lessons, the pool was not very busy which is a good thing (as opposed to public pools) for those who are anxious.
I would strongly recommend to adults who have experienced trauma with water at a certain time in their lives.

My son has been going to swimming lessons at Blue Wave in Wimbledon for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. The teaching is great and the lessons well run. Helps to prepare him for when we finally get to go on holiday again!

My son went to improve his swimming technique and found his instructor very helpful, very kind and patient. The school itself is very welcoming and feels safe for all the children who go there. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent results
My son is 4 years-old and we were looking for weekend swimming classes in a nice environment that could bring good results. After some research we chose Blue Wave Swim. Our son has been having private lessons since the end of 2018 and he is progressing very well. We believe the professionalism of the team, the clean and tidy infrastructure, and the good care of the management are contributing for his development and confidence in the water. Thank you very much Blue Wave Swim!

I have been impressed with my daughters’ progress and the fact that they love attending their classes and learning a vital life skill. Thank you very much. Great job!

Superb Swimming School in Wimbledon
My daughter, who is now 7 years old, started with blue wave two years back and we have been very happy with her progress at the school. Initially we started with group lessons but once she got comfortable in water we moved her to semi private lessons, which made a lot of difference in her ability to learn swimming. As part of the smaller group she is better bonded with other children in the group and gets more attention from the swimming instructor, which is helping her advance her swimming skills. During her 2 years with blue wave, swimming instructors for my daughter have changed and while continuity in learning was maintained, I think this could have been managed better. Needless to say, she still goes and enjoys her time here and looks forward to her class every week. Overall we are very pleased with Blue Wave and would recommend them without any hesitation.

Highly recommend this swimming school. My daughter has been attending since she was 1 years old and she loves it. The teachers are very good with children and my daughter, who is now 4 years old is very confident in the water.
