Summer is the ultimate season for sports and water activities. Whether preparing for upcoming family holidays or helping your child build vital life skills, summer holiday intensive lessons are the fastest way to achieve real swimming progress.
As a recognized finalist in the Merton Best Business Awards (Sport & Fitness category), Blue Wave Swim School is dedicated to delivering the highest standards of personalized coaching, water safety, and individual client care across SW London.
If you live in Southwest London and want to skip the year-round weekly term commitment, our intensive 5-day holiday modules offer the ideal solution. Hosted in warm, uncrowded 25-meter pools at Wimbledon College (SW19) and Aspire Centre (SW18, Wandsworth), our courses provide focused, gentle instruction away from busy public facilities.
Our private lessons are conveniently located for families traveling across SW London:
Summer school holidays are the best time to focus on essential skills without the pressure of school-night schedules. Completing a 5-day consecutive intensive course (30 minutes daily, Monday to Friday) delivers the learning equivalent of up to two full terms of weekly lessons.
Whether staying in the UK or heading abroad for a seaside holiday, building rapid water confidence ensures your family enjoys water safely and comfortably.
Our holiday crash courses specialize in supporting children who struggle with water anxiety, sensory sensitivity, or fear in noisy group environments. With gentle, in-water tuition, our experienced instructors work at your child’s exact pace to build genuine self-belief and technical competence.
We offer both 1:1 private lessons and semi-private (1:2) lessons for siblings or friends, available in flexible morning slots throughout the summer break.

A good swim school with professional staff
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!

Blue Wave Swim is an outstanding swim school that I would highly recommend. The teachers are professional, patient, and genuinely care about every child’s progress. They keep a watchful eye on each swimmer, making safety their top priority while building confidence in the water. July 2026

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.

Excellent Wimbledon Swimming School
Our children, now ages 9 and 7, have been taking lessons with Blue Wave since early 2017. They have made great progress with their swimming skills. We have been very impressed with the teaching and personalised attention both children have received. Best of all they enjoy and look forward to their lessons. The location is also convenient for Wimbledon residents.
