Swimming Lessons in London

Our unique teaching method and approach is based on the fundamental principle that learning how to swim effortlessly is essential. The Swimming Nature teaching programmes provides a natural way to learn and improve swimming ability and technique.

Swimming is an essential skill that provides you with life-long confidence in the water whilst also allowing you to enjoy one of the most popular leisure activities today! 

For safety reasons alone, everyone needs to be a proficient swimmer. Gardens with pools, ponds and hot tubs, holiday resorts, beaches, leisure centres and water sports are all potential hazards for the non-swimmer.

 Learning with Swimming Nature is fun and provides you with peace of mind for life.  Swimming also boosts your overall fitness levels and improves your body movement and coordination.

At Swimming Nature we can help you become a great swimmer.  Why not book one of our Free trial lessons and see for yourself!

 

Swimming Nature Methodology

• Passionate philosophy where all instructors train in the water to ensure students of any age learn THE correct mechanics of the four recognised strokes.

• No Doggy paddle!

• No arm bands!

• Modular lesson plans are followed every lesson ensuring rapid progress.

• All Students (excluding babies) learning how and why as well as what they should be doing

• Making swimming tuition fun and enjoyable

• Learn to swim all strokes beautifully and effortlessly

 

The sequence of activities and exercises has been carefully formulated to improve co-ordination, rhythm, stamina and swimming style.

Strokes are broken down into their respective movements and are practiced until students are able to combine all the different elements to perform the stroke correctly. This approach produces confident, natural and graceful swimmers, with improved fitness levels, posture, breathing and muscle tone.

Learning to swim the Swimming Nature way:

Swimming Lessons in London Swimming Lessons in London Swimming Lessons in London
Full adaptation to the water ensuring students are aware of the importance of relaxation and controlled breathing without floatation aids; Personalised tuition and coaching one-to-one, in pairs or small groups of matched ability students; Interactive and supportive teaching style;
     
    
In-water instructors help students understand how correct body movement generates effortless swimming; Stroke development is focused initially on technique rather than distance; Strokes are broken down and practiced in isolation until they can be performed as one fluid movement.

 

Swimming Nature has over 15 years experience in providing lessons whilst educating
students and parents how best to swim.

We focus on the importance of instructor training and the adherence to professional
guidelines and protocols all of which will bring peace of mind when choosing where to
learn to swim:

   

• Instructors qualified beyond the National Governing Body requisites including RLSS, ASA or STA or equivalent.

• Instructors hold an Enhanced Disclosure by the Criminal Records Bureau.

• Strong selection process. We make sure our instructors are excellent swimmers, love children and are passionate about teaching!

• Instructors trained to use Swimming Nature Methodology including our weekly lesson plans ensuring quality standards.

• Instructors work in the water ensuring fun, rapid learning and safety at all times.

• Swimming Nature will guarantee that our students will only learn correct mechanics of strokes.

• Doggy paddle and floating devices are not allowed under our teaching philosophy.

• Student progression well in advance of what is required for the National Curriculum, Key Stage 2*.

*The National Curriculum requires children to swim 25 metres by the age of 11 years old. Swimming Nature student
assessment data shows that on average most Swimming Nature pupils achieve 25 metres in a recognised stroke
(usually front or back crawl), by the age of 6.

 

 

Motivational Awards Scheme

Students are involved in a themed story where they will be helping our super-hero ‘Speedy Ray’ to achieve his goal – to Teach the World to Swim Beautifully & Effortlessly! Students receive a set of progression books where they can move from one level of aquatic character to another collecting badges and certificates as part of the adventure.

Interactive Feedback

At Swimming Nature we clearly understand how positive feedback and motivation is paramount to effective learning. Our approach to swimming tuition is not just about what happens in the pool. We have developed systems where instructors can monitor a student’s progress and timing through the use of mobile technology.

The information is then displayed for students over the internet so they can continue their swimming education at home: our focus is to make your whole experience of our education - FUN and INTERACTIVE whilst ACHIEVING RESULTS!

Flexible Bookings

Our booking system has been designed with the busy parent in mind. We match day, time, age and level so we can accommodate your booking according to your needs. We can even sometimes educate all your children in a single half hour.
