Swimming for more than 25 years, Aquatots have the most comprehensive swim programme available!

Unlike many less progressive schools, The Aquatots programme, truly is a journey from the little ones at 10 weeks to children aged 7 or 8.

The journey starts from the very youngest little ones at 10 weeks old starting out, in our Level 1 Ducklings class and can teach children all the way through, into the Primary school years, aged 7 or 8 in level 29.

This provides the most progressive structure teaching children, steadily building upon skills already learnt and introducing brand new ones, each and every 9 week term using the same learning techniques that children and parents have become comfortable following with us.

Not only that, but by offering an entire programme, we are committing to your child's full swimming education and saving you as a parent from struggling to find the next swim school every year and going through that settling in phase time and time again.

We have one pool in Romford and one in South Weald. One set within a school close to the town centre with classes on a Friday morning and another a little further out in a private residence, lovely and warm where we swim Mondays, Thursdays and both weekend days!

Our wonderful Level 1 joining offers include FREE underwater photos and unique Swimming Milestone Cards created just for swimming achievements! With the option to pay in three interest free installments and discounts for groups and multiples the choice is easy.
