Skip the endless cycle of weekly term-time classes. Our high-impact, 5-day summer intensives provide rapid progress for children of all abilities. Whether your child needs to conquer intense water anxiety or is looking to get faster, refine stroke technique, and master new strokes, our specialized 1:1 and Semi-Private (1:2) lessons deliver results. Serving families across Fulham, Putney, Wimbledon, Wandsworth, and Kingston.
Spaces are strictly limited to ensure a quiet, distraction-free environment. Each crash course runs for 5 consecutive days (Monday to Friday) at our premier South West London venues.
Pricing Formats:
Perfect for children who are fearful, refuse to wet their faces, or panic in standard group environments.
Designed for established swimmers who are plateauing in weekly groups and want to jump to the next level.
Term-time swimming routines can easily become an exhausting weekly chore. Coordinating school runs, traffic across Southwest London, and weekend schedules is stressful.
Our summer crash courses offer a highly efficient shortcut. Attending five consecutive morning sessions collapses months of slow weekly classes into just one week. It’s the perfect, high-intensity boost that keeps your family afternoons, weekends, and holiday plans entirely free.
In a standard group holiday “swimming camp” with 6 to 10 children, your child spends the vast majority of the lesson waiting at the wall while the teacher works with others. They receive roughly 3 to 5 minutes of direct teaching and coaching per session.
In our private and semi-private structures, every second is productive:
Our Summer 2026 crash courses operate out of private, high-quality pools that avoid the noisy chaos of public leisure centres, making travel highly convenient for families living in our key service areas:
Give your child the lifelong gift of water safety, streamlined speed, and confidence. Choose your week, venue, and target track (Confidence or Stroke Technique) and secure your booking instantly.

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
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.

Great
My daughter loves swimming! Since attending Blue Wave Swim School lessons her water confidence is high and that gives us peace of mind when she is playing near water. The staff are fantastic and the lessons are fun!

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.
