Look no further, we have the most popular swim school in Surrey. We follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme which is the leading national teaching syllabus for delivering safe, inclusive, and effective swimming lessons for all ages.

The structured and progressive content is based on a games-led approach to ensure children enjoy learning. And with a bright new range of badges and certificates, the Programme provides motivation and support for children at every level – from their first splash to gaining their enhanced aquatic skills.

Each lesson is 30 minutes long, except for Stage 8, Stage 9 and Stage 10 swim, which are 45 minutes.

For example, if the timetable shows Stage 7 with a start time of 16:00 and a finish time of 17:00, this means there are two separate lessons taking place, one from 16:00 to 16:30 and another from 16:30 to 17:00.
