We’re more than a good swim school; we are an award winning swim school in south London! Blue Wave Swim School was the finalist for three main awards in Merton (Wimbledon) and Wandsworth in 2019. Let us to tell you more on why!
When you run a business like Blue Wave Swim School, teaching children to swim is only part of the job. Sure, it’s essential to make sure that our professionally-trained teachers run classes that are progressive, technical and above all, fun. However, I also have to operate and market the business effectively. That’s why it’s a real thrill to be nominated for three awards at the Merton Best Business Awards 2019 and the Wandsworth Business Awards 2019. These awards are decided by the Merton and Wandsworth Chambers of Commerce.
Marjan was nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year at both the Merton and Wandsworth awards, as well as Top Woman in Business at Merton. It’s an honour to be in contention for these prestigious awards. It’s not about winning, it’s about being recognised and have influence.
The Blue Wave Swim StoryYou may ask what it takes to be an award-winning swim school and what could be the difference. So, We need to tell you the backstory. I have been teaching and coaching swimming since 1995, starting Blue Wave Swim School in 2019. At Blue Wave Swim School, we teach everyone the valuable life skill of swimming, from babies aged four months and upwards, all the way to adult level.
We receive more than 5000 visits to the Blue Wave site every month. Many of those visits come from adults specifically looking for lessons for themselves. Maybe they have been fearful of water all their lives and want to change, or they need to improve their front crawl technique in time for a triathlon. Whatever it is, Blue Wave Swim School can help.
We offer swimming lessons in two London boroughs, Merton and Wandsworth. If you’re looking for a good swim school in the Wimbledon or Wandsworth areas, Blue Wave Swim School is the best choice.
The mission that drives everything at Blue Wave Swim School is to educate people about swimming. Swimming brings so many benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing; we want to tell the world about it! We hope that after finding out about these benefits and the process of learning to swim, you’ll choose Blue Wave Swim School to teach you or your children to swim.
One of our primary methods of promoting this method is social media. People can find out about Blue Wave Swim School through traditional methods, but social media gives us an excellent opportunity to be ourselves. For that reason, we invest a lot of time and energy in maintaining a profile on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube.
Our approached was recognised last year (2018) when Blue Wave Swim School was a finalist in the Wandsworth ‘Best Business in Social Media and Marketing’ category at the Business Awards.
When you come to Blue Wave Swim School, you’ll immediately notice the difference. We truly believe in education and loathe mediocrity. For us, the best form of marketing is providing free education about swimming. That’s where the Blog comes in.
I started the blog in 2014 as a way to write about my passion for the benefits of learning to swim, as well as promote Blue Wave Swim School. When I talk to our pupils or their parents, it’s clear that people have a lot of questions about swimming. They have received a lot of mixed messages in the past and are confused about the right path to choose. We care about our customers and want to help them make the right choices.
The blog is a great opportunity for me to provide the answers. So, whether it’s something about children’s swimming, like my recent post about armbands, or something more technical such as this post about practising your ‘push and glide’, you can find everything you want to know about swimming on the blog.
Our website blog section has been receiving recognition for 3 years in a row . It’s been named as one of the Top 10 blogs in the country on the subject of swimming.
As an award-winning swim school in South London, it’s was great to be one of the finalists for three major awards in south London. But, it was even the better results we ever have had in the world of awards because we were the runner-up for one of the awards which was Entrepreneur of the Year in Merton. We are so glad we have come this far and we know so well that it would have been impossible to come this far without our great team of swim teachers and families who have been supporting us for many years.

A good swim school with professional staff
My girls have been going to Blue Wave Swim School for over 2 years, they have been looking forward to each lesson and keep practicing the swimming tricks even in a bath. All teachers and an owner of the school has been friendly, very professional. They found unique approach and made kids happy, but most importantly show them how to swim and have fun. Thank you very much from our family to Blue Wave Swim School.

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!

Highly Recommended
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!

Awesome!
I am grateful to Marjan and her team at Blue Wave Swim for their hard work and for promoting happiness and enjoyment in swimming. It is amazing to watch the lessons, see the attention, the encouragement and the support the children receive. 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.
