Swimtime want everyone to learn to swim, be safe, have fun, and that’s why everyone at Swimtime is passionate about swimming. Swimtime not only teach swimming, they enjoy going swimming whether just for fun, to exercise, or to compete.

This enthusiasm is infectious and they will teach you, whatever your age or starting point. No one is too young or too old to lear.

Swimtime was established in 1997 by a mum who couldn’t find swimming lessons for her 2 young daughters. She organised some lessons and now Swimtime is a national franchise company with a network of 24 franchises across the UK. Swimtime franchisees own their own businesses and are passionate about swimming. Sam McCabe owns the local Swimtime Franchise. Sam says: “We think that the best teachers are not only highly qualified, but know how to engage with their pupils, how to make the lessons fun, and how to put their pupils at their ease. ”.
All independent swimming teachers working with Swimtime follow industry best practice guidelines. They hold top teaching qualifications, are lifesavers, have insurance, and current Enhanced CRB Disclosures or equivalent. The independent swimming teachers are all kind and fun and as highly qualified and motivated.
