Introducing Riversdale Primary Swimming Pool
The Riversdale Primary Swimming Pool is along Merton Road, which sits a short walk from both Earlsfield and Southfields stations in Wandsworth, South West London. As a primary school pool it’s a suitable size and depth for toddlers, pre-school and primary school aged children to learn early swimming skills, have fun and build their water confidence. Compared to busy public pools, swimming in a smaller pool with fewer distractions really helps a child’s concentration in lessons, and to feel safe with their swimming teacher and buddies.
Meet the swimming teachers
We have a rota of dedicated swimming teachers at our Earlsfield 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.
You can find out a little bit more about the Riversdale Primary School teachers on our our Coaches pages.
