Waterlife Swim School

Waterlife Swim School is a swimming school in London, offering top-quality baby, toddler, and children's swimming lessons in various locations across South London and Surrey. With venues in Balham and Morden, Waterlife Swim School provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and develop their swimming skills.

At Waterlife Swim School, all instructors are certified by the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association) or STA (Swimming Teachers' Association) and are highly trained in infant submersion teaching methods. The school prides itself on its commitment to the safety and well-being of its students, ensuring that they receive the best possible instruction and guidance.

Founded in 2008 by Lizzie Emler, Waterlife Swim School has a rich history in teaching swimming to infants and toddlers. Lizzie herself discovered the joys of baby and toddler swimming when she attended classes with her son in 1998. After receiving training as a swimming instructor, Lizzie worked with a reputable company for almost a decade before establishing Waterlife Swim School with their blessing.

In 2020, Lizzie decided to retire, passing the reins to her long-term instructor Kirsty. Under Kirsty's capable leadership, Waterlife Swim School continues to offer outstanding swimming lessons for babies and toddlers in South London & Surrey. The school caters to infants from approximately 3 months old and uses highly praised teaching methods to help children reach their full potential, gain water confidence, and develop essential life-saving skills.

In addition to baby and toddler swimming lessons, Waterlife Swim School now offers adult classes at the Holiday Inn in Sutton on Friday afternoons. These classes provide adults with the opportunity to learn and improve their swimming abilities in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Waterlife Swim School is dedicated to providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere for all its students. With their enthusiastic and experienced “in-water” swimming instructors, children can learn to swim while having a great time. The school's motto is to help each child expand their natural swimming ability and enjoy the water to the fullest.

For those interested in enrolling their child or themselves in swimming lessons, online booking is now available. Waterlife Swim School's website also offers a wealth of information regarding their policies, locations, and the latest news and updates.

Waterlife Swim School is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its students, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive health questionnaire is provided for all participants to ensure a safe swimming environment.

With its reputation for excellence, Waterlife Swim School is the go-to swimming school for families looking to introduce their children to the joys of swimming. Whether it's for water confidence, skill development, or simply for the love of swimming, Waterlife Swim School guarantees a positive and enriching experience for all its students.
