Children Swimming Lessons in Wimbledon

We offer swimming lessons for all age groups; toddlers, pre-schoolers, school-aged including teenagers.

You can read a short description of the different type of swimming lessons which we offer depending on the age and swimming ability of swimmers.

Under 3’s Classes: Toddler Swimming Classes

Toddler classes are suitable for children who are under 3.5 years old. Before the pre-school stage of lessons, for children under 3 years old, we offer group toddler lessons which needs an adult like a parent to be in the water with your child. 

Parents can be in water with their kids up to age 3.5 years old.

These classes are the best way to introduce your child to water and swimming.

These classes aim to build water confidence and learn the basics of swimming, mainly through fun games, toys, and songs.

Swimming Lesson For Pre-schoolers and School-aged Children

From 3 years of age and above, children can have lessons without parents in water.

We offer private, semi-private (2 children with 1 teacher) lessons and small groups (3 children per class).

If your child is a preschooler (3 to 4.5 years old) and ready to follow instructions from a swim teacher, you could consider doing 1:1 or 1:2 lessons.

For school-aged children, the options of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 could be available depending on our availability.

Children’s Private Swimming Lessons

We offer private (one-to-one or 1:1) swimming lessons to all age groups including pre-schoolers, school-aged and teens.

For swimmers who are nervous about swimming or are after a specific type of progression; for example learning to breathe when swimming front crawl, private (1:1) lessons are the best choice.

With private lessons, you can rest assured our swim teachers can mold their lessons only around your needs and goals.

We also offer private swimming lessons to children with special needs including children on the Autism spectrum.,
