Hello, and a warm welcome to Swim School!

I founded Swim School back in 2004 after identifying the need for small, private children’s swimming lessons in the Burnley & Pendle area. Swim School grew very quickly and we now deliver a full and comprehensive swimming lesson programme for babies, toddlers and children.

When I’m not teaching swimming and completing never-ending paperwork, I like to spend my time watching motor sport (F1 in particular!) and going off snowboarding whenever I get the chance!

I live next door to Swim School with my partner Anthony, our children; George, Jessica and Jude plus our little doggy called Beryl.

Welcome to Swim School!

Swim School offers a variety of swimming lessons for parents and babies, toddlers, and children of primary school age.

Our group sizes are kept small so your child can fully interact with our water-based instructors and the lessons are taught in a structured and progressive manner providing encouragement and reassurance every step of the way on their swimming journey.

So if the time has come for your child to start swimming lessons, choose Swim School for fun and friendly classes with rapid results!
