What our customers say…

 

So much confidence and enthusiasm

“I have really enjoyed taking up swimming again with my 2.5 yr old after a year off. He started at Cindy’s at just 6 months old and I truly believe it’s due to this foundation that he has been able to restart again with so much confidence and enthusiasm” – Lucy Rigby

I can not recommend Cindys Swim enough!

“I can not recommend Cindys swim enough. We’ve been doing our swimming lessons for 6weeks now and my 3yr old has come along fantastically.” – Sarah Cafferty

Absolutely fantastic experience

“Both of my boys (5&7) had an absolutely fantastic experience learning to to swimming with Cindy’s Swim School. The instructors are skilled, kind and patient.” – Margeaux dos Santos

Introducing Riversdale Primary Swimming Pool

stage 1 swim lesson

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.
