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, 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 Revolutionary 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.

Ian Griffiths, Deputy Head, Timberley Primary Academy
”The progress made by the children and the confidence they had in the water was more than we could have hoped for. All of the children loved the sessions and the small group numbers meant that lessons were individualised. The sessions ran smoothly with no disruption to the rest of the school.”

“Swimming progress and attainment have improved at an incredible rate during the 6 weeks that the pop-up pool was on site. Our pupils have all developed their resilience and perseverance as well as their swimming skills for life.”
