Introducing Heron Academy swimming pool

We run lessons at pools in South West London.

Each has its own character. And these stretches of water have been the beginning of many swimming careers.

You have enrolled in a class at Heron Academy Pool. We are lucky to have access to it as it’s super convenient for the surrounding area. It’s decent length and a great size for both learning to swim or improving your skills. Compared to busy public pools, it really helps the pupil’s concentration and to build their confidence.

What to bring

Please note the kit you need to bring to your class depends on what pool you are swimming  at and what class-level you are swimming at.  All pupils will need to bring: 
Z

Swimming costumes and towel

It can be useful for changing if this is a poncho style towel although not necessary.
Z

Goggles

These can be purchased from us if you call the office in advance of your lesson so that we make sure we have the right size for you at the pool.
Z

Other Equipment

Pool noodle, kick board, dive sinkers

Z

Label everything

Please label your pupil’s kits and belongings so that you can easily identify them.

As prior lessons are likely to be ongoing please aim to arrive at your lesson NO MORE THAN 15 minutes early, allowing you enough time to be changed and ready to begin at your start time.

The entrance is located at the main entrance of the school on Heron Road.

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.
