Fantastic teacher

“Ella loves her swimming lessons and would stay there all day if possible! She has come a long way with her swimming in just a couple of months with the help of her…fantastic teacher! The children get very focused attention, as they are small classes, and so they progress quite quickly.” – Tania Matos

Introducing Darwin Court Swimming Pool
child swim lesson
stage 1 swim lesson
stage 1 swim lesson
Darwin Court Pool is a lovely, warm, indoor pool, local to Walworth, Elephant & Castle and Southwark. It is also not too far from Bermondsey.

The swimming pool is an excellent size for adult and children’s swimming lessons being 15 metres in length. This makes it great for teaching early swimming skills, through to more advanced swimming stroke technique.

Compared to busy public pools, a private pool like this really helps student’s concentration, for them to grow in confidence and to feel safe with their teacher and fellow swimmers.

Our swimming teachers

We have a rota of dedicated swimming teachers at our Walworth swimming pool who are all are either Swim England or Swimming Teachers Association Level 2 qualified or above (or hold equivalent certification).  They all hold relevant first aid certification and all have up to date DBS certificates – to ensure the safety of your children.

Some suggestions for after your lesson

We encourage our pupils and parents to spend time with each other outside of lessons. There are a number of cafes and parks in the vicinity of all of our pools. So why not suggest to anyone else at the lesson to grab a coffee or visit the local playground.
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.
