Penguins Swimming Academy

16/09/2026

As you know, Sunday the 27th September 2026 will be our final day of swimming lessons.

With heavy hearts, we will cease trading from the 28th September 2026.

Over the last 18yrs, we have had the honour of being able to contribute to the swim skills development of over 9,000 wonderful children.

Those of us that are not moving over to swim@LGST (Leicester Grammar learn to swim school) will miss those smiling faces…they are truly inspiring!

May I take this opportunity to thank all parents for the tremendous support that we have received from you, over the years.

Without your continued support, our experience would not have been so enjoyable.

I am sure that parents would also wish to join me, in thanking our fantastic teachers and office staff for their dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm.

A special thank you must go to Karen Betts. Karen has been involved from day 1 and has been responsible for everything that is good about Penguins. Without her dedication, we would not have achieved the standards that we are known for today. Thank you Karen.

May we wish every Penguins family a very bright and healthy future.
