Athelney Primary School pool is a lovely warm indoor pool, local to Beckenham Park, Bellingham, Bell Green, Sydenham and Catford. It is also not too far from Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

A great size for toddlers, pre-school and primary aged children, we are offering afternoon lessons so they can learn early swimming skills, have fun and build their water confidence.<\/p>\n

Compared to busy public pools, a small, quiet pool like this really helps the child’s concentration, ability to follow instructions and to feel safe with their swimming teacher.<\/p>\n

Some suggestions for after your lesson<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
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.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We are looking to build partnerships with local businesses<\/a> 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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
