Easter has arrived and unless you are going away, you have your children at home for two weeks.
Have you planned fun things for them already? There are always familiar activities that come to mind like Dance, Football, tennis, and of course, swimming that are the most popular activities to book for kids over the long school holidays.
London’s diverse range of swim schools can or cannot offer intensive swim lessons for children over the school holidays. So, it means they don’t all do it.
There are places that you may like to explore:
The majority of local leisure centres do offer weekly lessons but do not always offer intensive swimming courses.
And even if they do offer children swimming crash courses, they may not offer lessons for all ages and abilities.
The nature of the lessons at local leisure centres are based on large groups- could be from 6 to 12 children per class, depending on the centre- and even when they do offer crash courses, considering they may not have enough numbers to create large groups for just 5 days, they don’t run intensive lessons for all swimming abilities. So, your best bet is to contact each of your local leisure centre in London and find out.
There are some schools in London which do have their own pools and gyms and would let people of their local community to use their facilities (not free though). Sometimes, depending on the structure and whether facilities are staffed over the school holidays and open, they may offer intensive swim lessons. So, find out if any of the schools around you have a pool and if yes, whether they let people from outside to use them for lessons.
Some Private swim schools in London like Blue Wave Swim school, do offer intensive swimming lessons over the school holidays.
Becuase we offer private lessons during school holidays, that enables us to private lessons to all ages and all swimming abilities.
We think when a swim instructor can focuse on one learner during each lesson, the individual attention and tailored instruction, make our 1:1 intensive swim lessons more progressive. Over the years many parents have provided us with plenty of feedback that based on that we think a 5-Day intensive course is a fast-track approach for a child during his/her learn-to-swim journey, regardless of their age and skill level. From mastering basic strokes to developing advanced techniques, in our intensive private swim lessons, our swim instructors can give personalised feedback and coaching to help your child achieve his/her goals in a shorter space of time.
Don’t let overthinking of ‘how fast your child will learn to swim’ hold you back any longer. If you think it’s time for your child to make a splash and embrace the joy of learning to swim, start with a crash course.
And even if you are an adult, why not get ready to transform yourself into a confident and skilled swimmer with the help of our intensive swim lessons in London.
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.
