We offer a structured training programme for competitive swimmers of all levels, based primarily at Beechwood School, Slough which is a 25 metre pool with anti wave lane ropes. We also offer additional sessions in a 50 metre Olympic sized pool at Aldershot Garrison.

We also provide swimming lessons through our competitive swimming club.

We run small class sizes with a maximum pupil to teacher ration of 5:1 to ensure each pupil gets adequate attention. Our pupils progress far quicker than those in the average leisure centre type schemes which often have class sizes double the size.

Our tailored programme is led by a highly experienced team of teaching and coaching staff with success in nurturing and developing swimmers from beginner to international competition standard.

In our Academy we offer a structured training programme for swimmers from stage 5/6 in learn to swim through to competitive level. Our Academy is for those who wish to progress to competitive swimming.

We offer clear pathways, our teachers and coaches are fully Swim England qualified and provide a professional, friendly, supportive environment.

Please use the contact form to request a trial.

Our teachers and coaches are genuinely dedicated to helping your child develop as a swimmer and person with unrivalled pastoral support.

We treat every child as a unique individual and tailor our lessons and training programme to cater for their needs.

Our teachers and coaches are professionals following a vocation, we are not a money driven business, our passion is to help guide young people to success and enjoyment of their chosen sport in a not for profit environment.

We are a not for profit organisation. Our fees simply cover our fixed overhead costs.

Our Academy Bronze and Silver Classes are capped at a 5:1 teacher to pupil ratio. This ensures each pupil receives adequate tuition and is in stark contrast to the average leisure centre lesson where classes of 10 are not uncommon. Our pupils will progress much quicker and to a higher standard.

Billed on 29th June for July

Notice of cancellation does not affect any subscription payment already due or processed during the notice period.

Swimming Calendar
In general, the swimming year runs from September through to early August and is based on pool hire for an average of 42 weeks. There may be “easter, summer & winter shutdowns” in April, July, August, December, Bank Holidays, half terms and other times where we attend competition. Reductions are not given for these periods, fees are based on overall costs of being a squad member for the year taking into account our fixed overheads, not individual sessions.

Memberships & payments cannot be paused, if for example, you go on holiday for extended periods or decide to take a break due to exams.

The monthly fee that you pay is an annual fee conveniently divided into 12 equal monthly payments so please do not stop your payments during these times.

We do not charge per hour / session. Squad allocation is made based on ability and it is up to each swimmer to utilise their available pool time effectively. We cannot entertain casual arrangements for our competitive squads.

We may introduce a “Swim Fit” squad at a later date for those who do not wish to commit to the full training programme.

Please let us know if you would like to discuss further.

Drop Off and Collection of Swimmers Policy

The safety and well-being of each swimmer is the Club’s priority. This policy aims to outline the responsibilities of parents/guardians and coaches before, during and after training sessions.

       Drop-off

            Until the swimmer is poolside the responsibility for their safety and welfare lies with the parent/guardian.

            Therefore we recommend;

• That the parent/guardian of all swimmers under the age of 13 should accompany their children into the pool/land training facility to ensure they arrive safely and go straight into the changing rooms or to the land training venue. 

• That parents/guardians with swimmers under the age of 13 do not drop their child/children off at the roadside or leave them in the car park. 

• Parents/guardians of swimmers under 13 ensure that a coach is present before entering the complex.
  
  During Sessions
  
  The coaches are responsible for swimmers when they are on poolside or in the land training venue where they will ensure their safety and welfare. Where possible, parents/guardians are welcome to stay and watch their child/children and we would encourage parents of younger children to do so. Not only is this in the interest of the welfare of the children if they become ill or distressed, but it also allows parents/guardians to support their swimmers as they develop their skills.
  
  Collection
  
  When the swimmer leaves poolside (or land training), responsibility for child’s/children’s safety and welfare lies with parents/guardians. We ask that parents of all swimmers under the age of 13 collect their child/children from inside the pool facility. Parents/guardians are expected to arrive at the time the session finishes rather than when they think their swimmer will be ready so that they can assume responsibility for their child on leaving poolside. It is parents/guardians’ responsibility to ensure that they arrive promptly to ensure their children are not left unsupervised. Parents/guardians that are not staying during training sessions/swimming lessons should make sure they are contactable by phone (at one of the contact numbers provided to the club).
  
  Early Collection
  
  If a child must leave the session early due to illness or injury, they will be asked to remain on poolside until their parent/guardian arrives. They will only be allowed off poolside early if it is confirmed their parent/guardian is on- site. If a child would like to leave a session early (say for an appointment) the parent/guardian are responsible for emailing the coach at least two hours prior to the session to confirm this is authorised by yourself. Alternatively, you must provide a written note for them to give to the coach at the beginning of the session. The swimmers will not be allowed to leave early unless we have this confirmation from a parent/guardian as the coach remains responsible for the child during the entire duration of the session.
  
  Late Collection
  
  On occasion we understand that parents/guardians may be delayed and unable to collect their child from training or after an event. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to ensure the club has up to date contact numbers for you in case of an emergency or for use in situations such as these. The club asks for updated contact details annually as part of the Swim England’s membership renewal. Any subsequent changes to your contact details must be supplied to the club as soon as possible. After the swimmer leaves poolside or land training, the parent/guardian is responsible for the welfare of their child and it cannot be guaranteed that a coach or volunteer can remain with the child until collected.
  
  Where a parent/guardian is unavoidably delayed and knows they will not be able to arrive on time to collect their swimmer, they should arrange for an alternative nominated responsible adult to do so or to remain with the swimmer until they can be collected. If you are unable to do this, you must attempt to contact your coach or a club officer and provide clear guidance on what the club is required to do i.e., the parent/guardian must give consent if they wish another parent to transport their child home. Swimmers under the age of 13, if not collected, should not leave the building unsupervised and must stay inside the facility until you arrive and notify a coach, club official or facility staff member that they have not been collected. Parents/guardians must ensure their children are aware of this policy. Where no notice has been given of late collection and the coach / club officials are made aware that a swimmer remains uncollected due to an emergency, the coach or a club official will attempt to contact parent / guardian and will wait with the child as a one off emergency. Consistent ‘no shows may result in the swimmer being excluded from club sessions.
