Looking for structured yet affordable swimming instruction for your child? Our children’s small group swim lessons in Wimbledon offer a great environment for progress and peer learning. No more than three children per class. A maximum of three children per class ensures each swimmer receives plenty of attention while learning alongside others.
These 1:3 ratio lessons are best suited for school-aged children who can follow instructions and are comfortable in the water. For younger or less confident swimmers, we recommend starting with 1:1 or 1:2 lessons. If your child is a pre-schooler, your child benefit from doing 1:1 or 1:2 lessons to start off with.
We group children based on their swimming abilities and age group.
So, when we group an 8-year-old who can swim 10 meters on both front and back, we can offer a place in a small group with other children who are at a similar level and age. This ensures effective, level-appropriate instruction and balanced group dynamics. However, the availability of places is very limited.
For example, if your child is 8 years old and can swim 25 meters on front and back, we could offer a space in a 1:3 group where other children are similar age and can also swim around 25 meters on front and back.
Our goal is to teach children all four competitive strokes—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—through a structured and progressive program. Small class sizes allow us to maintain individual attention while fostering social interaction and motivation among peers.
You can even watch how we teach all four strokes in action to see the quality of our instruction and methodology.
We aim to take all of our swimmers to full swimming competency and become well-rounded swimmers based on the Swim England definition. ‘Advanced Level‘ child is able to swim all four strokes with good technique and dive from the poolside
A good swim school with professional staff

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.
