Our Philosophy
Surrey Swim School’s philosophy is that swimming can be learnt through structured, planned lessons with friendly, caring teachers. Swimming is a life-saving skill and can also be the beginning of many enjoyable water experiences such as scuba diving, wind surfing or water ski-ing. Our main goal is for swimmers to enjoy the water.

Our Teachers
All teachers who work for Surrey Swim School are qualified with relevant rescue tests and DBS checks. They are enthusiastic about their teaching, well organised and very approachable. They offer structured, planned lessons in a friendly, caring environment. Each term all Surrey Swim School swimmers receive a Progress Report.

Our Lessons
Surrey Swim School follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme which assists our teachers to organise progressive lessons for the swimmers. It is a recognised teaching plan that is used throughout the country and is based on sound technical and educational principles.

Our Venues
Surrey Swim School’s teaching venues are Banstead Prep School in Banstead and St. John’s School, Leatherhead.

Babies and Pre-School
Once babies have completed their course of immunisations they can join the Parent and Baby Class and enjoy becoming water friendly with others through games and songs feeling secure and safe with a parent/adult.
