About

In 2007, Surrey Swim School splashed into action. We wanted to share our passion for the water and belief, that swimming can be a fun and rewarding experience if taught through structured, well-planned lessons. Nearly 20 years on, we stand by our philosophy and remain committed in being, the leading, independent provider of quality swimming lessons in the area.

Teaching Plan

Surrey Swim School proudly follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme for our swimmers aged 5 and above. For our youngest swimmers, we adopt the STA International Learn to Swim Programme. Both programmes focus on building aquatic confidence, learning fundamental skills and understanding basic water safety.

  • Thank you so much for teaching my daughters to swim. Their water confidence has improved drastically, and they have excelled in their technique. You have always provided useful feedback at the end of each half term. The girls will miss their lessons with Surrey Swim School.

  • I can't recommend Surrey Swim School highly enough. My son joined in lockdown at the age of 5 and was made to feel at ease. 5 years on and my son loves his Sunday swimming. My daughter has also joined and has progressed leaps and bounds. I would not have them swimming anywhere else! All the teachers and helpers are amazing and bring out the best in the kids.

  • We have had the most amazing experience with Surrey Swim School. Our daughter started lessons in 2021 and has just completed her Stage 4 of the Swim England − Learn to Swim programme. The teaching staff are amazing, the level of care, attention and teaching is fantastic... As a result, our daughter progressed quickly. We are so pleased we found this school and although others were considered, I am so pleased we chose Surrey Swim School and would recommend it to others. Thank you, you’re the best!!

  • Both my daughters were taught to swim at Surrey Swim School and I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. The teachers are all wonderful and the progress they both made was wonderful - from when they started as toddlers to when they finished as confident, proficient swimmers, we've always had the most positive experience.

  • “My daughter has learned so much since joining the swim school. The instructors are patient, professional, and make each lesson fun and engaging. Her confidence in the water has grown massively, and the progress she’s made is amazing. I’m very happy with the quality of teaching and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a great swimming school.”

  • I was a complete beginner when I started my first lesson. Now after four lessons, I'm confident in exploring water with all the safety and technical skills learned. A big thank you to the whole Surrey Swimming School team for making it an absolutely pleasant learning experience, which I highly recommend!
