A fabulous Valentine’s Day is filled with beautiful flowers, chocolate, and interesting presents. But, when we talk about loving something like swimming, it would be good to know why we love being in the water. Are you wondering why you could love swimming? We love things and activities like swimming because they benefit us and water makes us healthier and happier.
Let’s first ask you if you like the feeling of being in water specially warm water?
Do you feel peaceful and calm when you are in a pool and spa?
Do you generally enjoy being in the water and the feeling of relaxation that movement in the water can produces?
There is a reason if your answer was yes to all of the above questions.
There’s something very therapeutic about being in or near water.
Swimming, like all exercise, releases endorphins in your brain. These are natural feel-good hormones that increase positivity and bring about a sense of wellbeing and happiness.
Swimming and movement in water are particularly good for relaxing your body, soothing your mind, and reduce anxiety. That is why even in some swimming pools and spas relaxing music is played to add to the relaxing effect of water and swimming
We know love stimulates all of your happy chemicals at once. That’s why it feels so good. Each happy chemical in your brain like endorphins-which are stimulated by love-reward us in different ways. It is interesting to know that there are parallels between how love affects the human brain and how it changes our biochemistry and water-based activities like swimming
When people are in love their brains start to release endorphins. Endorphins are associated with feelings of comfort. Endorphins are like opiates. They calm anxiety, relieve pain and reduce stress. So, it is the same feeling that people get when they go to the spa or after swimming
Swimming is one of the most popular physical activities in the U.K and as many parents would agree, it is much easier to pursue a child who can swim to go for a family swim than a child who doesn’t like water. Movement in water can make all of us including children healthier and happier.
And, every good swim instructor‘s role must in a swim school is to instill the love of water in every swimmer they teach!
The most efficient way to learn to swim is through structured swimming lessons and by starting children early you can instill the love of water in them much easier
A good swim school with professional staff

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!

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.
