Top 30 Best Senior swim schools in London

“Why did I choose the International Swimming Academy? It all started when I visited my friend and I saw all her little daughters swimming like a dolphins! I was really impressed by ISA system and at that time I was only pregnant, but I knew I wanted the same for Pernille :) My Daughter started her lessons when she was 9 months old with just a trial lesson... and since then I saw how important is for your child to start early so they get confidence and get used to water. My daughter is now almost 2 years, and this is the best decision I made. I see how she improves every week, she enjoys every second of her lessons. She loves the environment, every teacher which are all wonderful! So really I can’t recommend them highly enough. Communication and management from the whole team, is perfect.”

“I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Fulham Swim School. From toddler to 5 years old, Vasco is now a confident swimmer. Thank you for all the fabulous teachers and staff.”

“In just half a term our 4 year old daughter has developed her confidence, strength and endurance in swimming. The teachers are fantastic and the content and pace of lessons exceptional. As soon as her weekly lesson finishes, my daughter counts down the days until her next lesson. We whole heartedly recommend seriously fun swimming to all!”

“Two of our kids have been with ISA for many years. Our oldest is in the swim team at school now and has one of the best techniques for all four strokes. Thoroughly recommend ISA.”

“Agnes is a brilliant swim teacher and we can highly recommend her services. She has a vast technical knowledge and makes the lessons fun and engaging. The 121 lessons are well worth it and she uses good technology which enables you to see yourself in action. I wish I'd known about her years ago!”

“Absolutely loved this pool. Went for my 3 year old first class this morning and he had so much fun. The pool is great and you can see your kids from outside. It is very warm. The changing rooms are big and super clean. There is shower gel and shampoo provided as well as hair dryer. Definitely the best pool for kids in the area!”

“My children have swimming lessons with Aqua Style....and.....love it. The instructors are very professional... the lessons are fun....when you reach a certain level the lessons increase to 1hour..... Pool and changing area are clean and well kept.”

“I can't recommend First Strokes enough! I have decided to go from a complete non swimmer to swimming 5k for charity. The training and support have been incredible. Professional and always friendly. I never feel silly, only ever encouraged. If you are thinking of swimming lessons, look no further. The facilities are clean too.”

“My 7 month old daughter is currently having swimming lessons at Sycamores and I am so far very happy. The teacher, Beth, is great and each class is fun & different. The facilities are good, nice size changing rooms right next to the pool, and the pool is lovely and warm. Never had an issue parking, and the guy who helps out in the changing rooms is funny, friendly & helpful. Thank you Sycamores, I am looking forward to continuing lessons with you.”

“My little girl is def and they are teaching her to swim one to one.”

“Booked the Chelsea swim spa as a surprise treat for my wife and she really enjoyed it and so did i. It's an amazing spa pool and it's great fun when you switch on all the features like the jets(really powerful!) and the bubbles! You get the spa all to yourself during the hire period and it's completely private while you're using it which is a nice luxury. We would not hesitate to go back again. We loved it! ♥️ P.s one reviewer said that there were no changing facilities. This is not correct. There are small tents in the pool area that are private and that have been provided for you to get changed in. Also the reviewer said that the pool was full of other users. It is possible to book the pool for your own exclusive private use on weekdays but you have to request this and ask the owners what time slot is available.”

“My daughters recently finished their training at Splish n Splash Swim School, and I’m very happy to say that they can now both Swim. They had both had group lessons with their school for a couple of years but neither of them learnt to swim more than 5 meters. After 10 2-1 lessons with Splish n Splash, they can both swim 30 meters. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this school.”

“Great place, but it gets busy sometimes. Staff is helpful.”

“My two children have been swimming with Nautilus for 2 years already and they made such a tremendous progress. They both swim in school team, but they do not want to give up on Nautilus classes since they enjoy them too much.”

“After retiring from work my Doctor diagnosed me with Type 2 Diabetes and prescribed medication (MetFormin tablets). He advised me to exercise and to lose weight. I joined my local Charteris gym and the free weekly Over 50s Keep Fit session where I received a warm welcome and made new friends. Charteris is a community-based not for profit centre run by committed and hardworking Director Lloyd and colleagues who have developed a popular programme of activities for a diverse neighbourhood. After 6 months attending Charteris my Doctor tested me again and found that my health had improved and that I had lost weight. He told me that I no longer had Diabetes and stopped my medication. I will continue to use the Charteris Gym and to attend the weekly Over 50s sessions as it helps me to keep fit, lose weight, improve my health and hopefully live longer!”

“A wonderful outdoor Olympic (50m) size lido in south-east London. Extremely clean and heated year round making winter swimming possible, even without a wetsuit. Inside and outdoor changing facilities. Friendly staff and a nice mix of local leisure bathers and a friendly swimming community make for a very nice relaxed atmosphere. Some swimming and triathlon clubs train here too. There's a full Better gym on-site (which can be used for an extra fee) and something quite unique, an outdoor spin studio overlooking the pools. Some of the spin instructors are very entertaining as they motivate their classes :). You will definitely leave feeling refreshed and happier than when you arrived.”

“Great local swimming pool. Plan on getting some swimming lessons to improve my stroke here as lots on offer.”

“We highly recommend Sutton the Trampoline Park for Birthday parties. On Saturday 18th March, Nathan and Tia made my Daughter's 4th Birthday an absolute dream. Nothing was too much for them. The booking to process was simple and followed up with emails clearly instructing of what to do to make the day go smoothly. My daughter and all the guest had only good things to say. Thank you and well done to all at Sutton Sports Village.”

“My son is really enjoying his lessons and I can notice the progress each week. Millie is such a lovely teacher, Jacob is extremely fond of her.”

“Given a 5 because I love it, the staff are really lovely and helpful. *BUT* Guys the drinks machine has been out of action for over a week. PLEASE can you fix it. Also would love a coffee machine or the cafe to be open all day. After my early morning workout I'd love to grab a drink/breakfast/roll something.”

“Nick helped me after I started experiencing pain in my hip/leg from weightlifting. He not only identified and guided me through fixing the problem, but has also given me a great deal of valuable advice for my training. Very happy with the results, would definitely recommend.”

“I’ve been coming here for an year now and to be very honest I love it! In terms of ambiance is fantastic, I see quiet a few regular faces at the time that I visit and the team is friendly and very supportive (they had to cut my locker twice due to me loosing the key during training) in terms of equipment is very well equipped and in great conditions.”

“I Love swimfarm. I am a Nanny and I did take several children for lessons here and I absolutely reccomend it.”
