Our dedicated local teachers are all trained to SEQ/STA level 2 with enhanced DBS certificates. They undergo continuous training to ensure they build confident swimmers and deliver consistently engaging lessons.

Following the AquaQuack swim scheme, safety is our top priority. The ideal way to start lessons would be with you in the water with your swimmer in Parent and Child classes, but we understand children are ready at different times. This is why we also have teachers in the water for all our FUNdamental stages, giving parents and guardians the reassurance their swimmers will be safe during their lessons. Additionally, small class sizes are maintained throughout the scheme to ensure swimmers are safe and have plenty of time to practise the skills they are learning. A ratio of 1:4 is maintained in all Fundamental classes, with a maximum of 8 per Progression level.

Do not worry if you have started your swimmer’s aquatic journey elsewhere. However swim schemes vary between schools, we offer assessments to child swimmers over 4 years old who have swimming experience or skills, to see where they would fit in our scheme. This allows swimmers to fit into our scheme at their relevant level utilising their current swimming ability. You will be offered an assessment slot where we have availability. (Please be aware that after an assessment may not mean we have a space in the class you need).

It is never too late to learn to swim! Adult swimming lessons are available across PoolSchools venues. Whether you are anxious of the water or just looking to improve your strokes we have classes for you. We offer group adult classes providing a fun and friendly environment to learn a life skill and meet new people regardless of your age.

At PoolSchools we care about all individuals access to swimming lessons. At some of our venues we offer 121 lessons for individuals with additional needs, at a discounted rate to make them accessible for all.

We offer term-time lessons for children and adults plus holiday crash courses at Bancroft’s School. We only offer Adult lessons at Caterham High School,
