What our customers say…

 

I can't believe how much he has learnt!

“Our 6 year old has been swimming here for a few weeks and has improved in confidence so much. His swimming has come on loads, I can’t believe how much he has learnt in this short time.

Maria is an amazing teacher and really engages with the kids. She understands how to encourage them, pushing them further to get amazing results. They cover so much in just one lesson. Recommend to anyone who wants to learn to swim.” – Victoria

Introducing Heron Academy swimming pool
Baby in as swimming pool with mother

We run swimming lessons at pools in South London. In Herne Hill we offer lessons at the Heron Academy Swimming Pool to nursery, pre-school and primary school aged children learning to swim.

We are lucky to have access to this pool, which is a perfect length and depth for kids, both those starting swimming lessons for the first time and those improving their skills.

Compared to busy public pools, a smaller school pool like this one really helps a child’s concentration. With fewer distractions and small groups of 4:1 child to teacher ratio, we find our pupils gain confidence, listen well, build trust with their teacher and make new friends more quickly.

We are looking to build partnerships with local businesses to help benefit the school. Please do contact the office with any recommendations of places to go after class or services that might be useful to school members.
