Bringing Swimming Lessons Directly to Your School
Swimming is a vital life skill, yet 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to swim 25 metres or perform safe self-rescue. Swim:ED solves this by delivering on-site swimming lessons directly to schools in Corby, Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicestershire, Peterborough and across Northamptonshire. Our heated pop-up pools, set up securely on your playground and eliminate the hassle of off-site travel while ensuring pupils receive high-quality swimming tuition from qualified instructors and lifeguards..
A Safe and Impactful Primary School Swimming Solution
Say goodbye to the logistical challenges of traditional school swimming lessons. Swim:ED’s mobile swimming pools align with the national curriculum, helping schools meet swimming and water safety targets without disrupting class schedules. Our self-contained, modular pool structure provides a safe and engaging environment, where children can gain confidence in the water while maximising valuable learning time.
Helping Every Child Become a Confident Swimmer
With drowning being one of the leading causes of accidental death in children, water safety skills are more important than ever. Swim:ED ensures that every child, regardless of background or ability, has the opportunity to develop strong swimming skills. Our expert-led lessons focus on technique, water confidence, and essential life-saving skills, giving pupils the best possible start in their aquatic education.
