Introducing Earlsfield RD Pool
We run lessons at pools in South West London. We have been lucky enough to work for several years now with our Wandsworth Swimming Pool, which is a private residential pool on Earlsfield Rd, SW18.
This pool is situated in the garden of a pretty townhouse in Wandsworth. It’s very convenient for the local nurseries, and is the only pool in the immediate vicinity that opens its doors for lessons. The 10 x 3 metre pool is a beautiful, well-kept, intimate space, which, compared to busy public pools, really helps our pupils’ concentration. Babies and small children respond better in the quieter and smaller pools, and this also helps children to listen and learn from their teachers. We seen kids make huge leaps in their swimming skills and water confidence.
Meet the swimming teachers
We have a rota of dedicated swimming teachers at our Wandsworth 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 Earlsfield Road 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 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.
