Being able to swim is a key life skill that can open up a whole aquatic world of opportunities for children, we believe it is never too late for a child to start this journey.
“Based in the leafy Essex country side, our private 10m pool offers all swimmers the chance to grow in confidence and skill on a smaller more personal scale.
We maintain a water temperature of 31 degrees, that makes swimming just as desirable in those cold winter months.”

“Our friendly and fun-loving teachers are driven by their students’ success in learning to swim and strive for each child to succeed week on week. Our highly trained team have decades of experience and several NGB qualifications which make them extremely knowledgeable in their practice.“

“With small groups and teachers close by our personal approach makes a huge difference in swimmers progression and confidence. Demonstrations, fun activities and structured lesson plans set our swim school aside from many others and swimmers are able to learn while enjoying their time in the pool.”
