We’ve been teaching people of all ages. This means we have been offering children swim lesson in south London in southwest London since 2010.
Over the years, we welcomed children from very different backgrounds and experiences across different age groups, teaching swimming to children of more than 20 different nationalities including; China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Lithuania, Bulgaria, The Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, Iran, Turkey, Mexico and The United States.
We are a swim school based in south west London. We are extremely proud that, whilst the vast majority of our swimmers of all ages are British, nonetheless, our students and teachers reflect the diversity of London.
By teaching swimming to children who, in some cases, had already started their ‘learn-to-swim’ journey in another country, and by interacting with their parents, we were able to better understand how swimming tuition is done in other parts of the world; in turn, this diversity has given us the opportunity to learn how to be better communicators and better teachers by re-evaluating our own approach.
We are far more adaptive and flexible as a result, indeed in many ways we have learnt just as much as our students! We now have a much greater understanding of how we can adapt our approach to suit our children, delivering lessons which are fun but do not compromise the quality of lessons that we deliver. In this way we have been able to dispense with a ‘one-size fits all’ format for a much more intelligent and nuanced approach.
The greatest lesson that we have learnt over the years of teaching swimming lessons- something which you will not find in any training programme- it is that from exposure to diversity, we can derive broad experience.
With diverse experience, for sure we develop more effective teaching skills, becoming a more effective teacher as a result; this has been absolutely priceless and that is why we think our swimming teachers are some of the best in the business; they are knowledgeable, caring, skilled and strong communicators.
So I want to take this opportunity to welcome the new year and new term. We look forward to teaching more people how to swim in 2015 and we remain proud to be a truly international swim school!
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!

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.

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.
