Toddler Swimming Lessons in South London

Swimming lessons from 1 to 3 year olds

Teach your toddler water confidence and safety whilst having fun.

Our toddler swimming lessons are designed for little ones aged 12 months to 3 years. We teach in some lovely pools across South London — including Brixton, Wandsworth, Tooting, Elephant & Castle, and Southfields — all easy to get to from nearby areas. Our pools are perfect for helping toddlers feel safe and relaxed in the water. It’s amazing to see how quickly their confidence and swimming skills grow!

We have a mix of options to suit you and your little one’s personality and progress. Our swimming programme has been developed to work along a child’s development.

Toddler swimming lessons can either be a continuation of parent and baby lessons, where the parent or carer stays in the pool and participates in the swimming lesson.

Or for more confident toddlers, we offer a 2:1 teacher to pupil ratio lesson, where two small ones learn together with one of our professional swimming teachers, and parents or carers stay at the pool side.

What we teach

The focus is on getting your child independently confident in the water. Content will include basic stroke technique, how to climb out of the pool, jumping into the water and a balance of fun, learning and discipline.

Teaching water safety is key and as a rule, arm bands or similar flotation devices are not used in our lessons. This is because they can easily create a false sense of buoyancy, which little people might not understand, meaning they think they can float in water when they actually can’t.

As this could be unsafe if they ever came across water by themselves, we prefer instead to use noodles and boards, which assist flotation only when they are needed.
