Achieve months of swimming progress in just 5 days. Dedicated 1:1 private holiday crash courses, a short drive from Putney, for parents seeking rapid results and peace of mind. Our October half-term course runs Monday 26th to Friday 30th October 2026, weekday mornings at Wimbledon College (SW19).
Finding premium, distraction-free 1:1 swimming instruction during the school holidays can be incredibly difficult. Blue Wave Swim School offers something different: specialist 1:1 holiday crash courses near Putney, taught in full-sized, warm 25-metre swimming pools.
Instead of placing your anxious or nervous child into a loud, crowded public leisure centre or a cramped, shallow hotel pool, our lessons run at two quiet private school pools: Wimbledon College (SW19) and the Aspire Centre (Southfields/Wandsworth, SW18). Both are a quick drive from Putney High Street. Our October half-term crash course runs at Wimbledon College.
For a nervous child, weekly lessons often cause a frustrating “weekly reset”: the 7-day gap allows anxiety to rebuild, wasting the first part of every class re-conquering old fears. Our intensive 5-day format breaks this cycle completely.

A good swim school with professional staff
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.(May Achour July 2026).

Highly Recommended. Our girls, two sisters aged 7 and 5, loved the teacher, looked forward to their semi-private courses, and made significant progress in two weeks (Mr B Mashhoodi September 2026).

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 recommend
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.

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.

Kids love coming and I can see the development over the weeks. I can see the teachers laying down foundations for a lifetime of swimming – very reassuring as a parent and exactly why you choose a swimming school rather than go it alone
