Adult Swimming Lessons & Training in South London
We offer adult swimming lessons for all abilities
Choose from beginner or intermediate lessons as well as triathlon and squad training.Our swimming lessons take place at some wonderful pools across South London including locations in Brixton, Streatham and Walworth.
We have designed our weekly lessons so that you can start as a beginner and progress through to advanced, then join in with your own team to stay fit, all in the same pool.
Adult beginner lessons
Did you know one in five adults in the UK can’t swim? Well it is never too late to learn (our oldest pupil so far was 87 years old). Our friendly and welcoming classes are designed for all abilities, providing a supportive and encouraging environment for you to enjoy your time swimming with us.
What we teach
The classes are tailored to ensure adults can progress at their own pace. We start out by working on the basics and developing your core muscles as well as confidence in the water. Then the classes move onto perfecting your strokes, without adding too much distance to your training, so you can focus on your technique without getting tired by the length of the pool. Classes cover:
- Floating and treading water
- Basic stroke technique
- Building the confidence to submerge yourself under the surface
We give extra care to people that have had unfortunate experiences with water, so please do tell us if you have had negative experience or a particular concern.
Adult intermediate lessons
Our friendly and welcoming classes are designed for all abilities, providing a supportive and encouraging environment for you to develop your swimming.
What we teach

Kickboard

Kickboards are an essential swimming aid. They initially teach proper body position and give support to weaker swimmers. For more andvanced swimmers they are a vital tool in stroke correction. This kickboard is designed for an adult frame.
Sinkers

Sinkers are an important swimming aid for swimmers to help gain confidence, control and breathing technique when moving underwater. Sinkers are also used to strengthen and lengthen body position as swimmers surface dive.
