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.\u00a0 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.<\/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
