Today, is the 3rd Sunday in the month of June in 2024 and it is the Father’s day in many countries including the U.K. So, we are sending a big ‘thank you’ to all fathers and specially to our swimming dads.
We mean the dads who dive into everything with a splash of enthusiasm and a wave of love specially when it comes to swimming. They show their love by coming to our children lessons, every week, throughout the year, regardless of the weather or season. As learning this important life skill takes time, we see you for many years.
We know how important it is for you to ensure your children learn an important life skill and able to enjoy holiday and leisure time in pools and sea.
Fathers’ dedication shines through in every lesson, every smile and every cheer from the poolside.
Dive in and enjoy your special day – you deserve it!
Enjoy your day!
Everyone in a family loves to enjoy the fun part of summer holidays which normally involves being in and around water in a pool or sea. Throughout the years of teaching adults in Southwest London, we have noticed there are many many adults out there who really want to learn how to be confident in water and go up and down a pool with proper strokes. It is not surprising because one-third of adults are unable to swim in England alone. Yes, the latest statistics by Swim England says 14 million adults are unable to swim.
Also, more than 50% of the population of the world cannot swim and sadly, it means, the risk of reaching adulthood and remaining a nonswimmer is high.
Over the years, we have asked our adult learners to tell us why they didn’t learn to swim as a child. The most popular answers have been listed below:
1) Unenthusiastic instructors
2) Cold water and pools
3) School swimming involved too much traveling to get to a public pool. So they were rushed in and out of the pool. All meant learning to swim never had included any fun part
4) Too many children in the classes and teachers never had enough time to give enough attention
5) Had nervous parents who couldn’t swim either or didn’t prioritise learning to swim
We know there could be several other reasons behind 14 million adults in England remain non-swimmers and have expressed concerns about water going over their heads. But, we would like to reminder everyone, that it’s never too late to start learning to swim.
We strongly believe personalised attention can do wonders for teaching over all aquatic skills. Whether your are a beginner or looking to refine your stroke technique, our experienced instructors can provide one-on-one attention in our private lessons to help you to master your technique no matter where you are in the swimming journey

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!

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.
