Why Learn to Swim As An Adult

Swimming is like driving. It means if by a certain age people cannot swim, like driving, they tend to hide it away. But, learning to swim as an adult can be a very empowering experience. Nonetheless, unlike children, adults cannot just have a go at tasks and see how it would pan out. What is very common for adults who are either non-swimmers or can swim but not confidently, starting swim lessons can feel intimidating. So, if you’re a complete beginner and feel unsure about taking adult lessons you are not alone. At Blue Wave Swim School in Wimbledon, we understand those anxieties and offer 1:1 adult swimming lessons for beginners designed to build your confidence and skills in a supportive and personalised environment.
