Introducing Trinity Pool
Cindy’s Swim School runs lessons at pools in South West London. Trinity Pool is a privately-owned pool situated in the garden of a pretty townhouse located between Balham and Tooting Bec. We are extremely lucky to have access to it, as we have done for several years. It’s been the happy location of many a young child learning to swim for the first time!
This great little pool is perfect for our youngest swimmers, being very popular for parent and baby sessions, through to toddler, pre-school and then children’s after-school lessons.
The pool is an intimate space, it’s quiet, warm and safe as can be, which our pre-school and nursery school learners love. Compared to busy public pools, this really helps the pupil’s concentration and builds their confidence and trust in their teacher.
Our swimming teachers
At this Tooting Bec / Balham swimming pool we have a rota of dedicated swimming teachers 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 Trinity Pool teachers on our our Coaches pages.

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:
Swimming costumes and towel
It can be useful for changing if this is a poncho style towel although not necessary.
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.
Label everything
Just like going to school, you may want to label your pupil’s belongings so that you can easily identify them.
Swim nappy and swim shorts
For the baby lessons, parents need to bring a swim nappy and swim shorts. The swim nappy needs to be able to keep any leaks in, use the special kind that have a second level of protection.

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 this swimming pool both in the direction of Tooting Bec or Balham. 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.
