Swim City over the years 💙
From our first beach days to staff parties and award evenings.
We've made so many amazing memories with our students, their families, and our wonderful teachers.
Here's to many more landmarks along the way! 🙌
"The best part of the lesson is meeting new people." 🥹
"The community is really nice."
The physical side of lessons is only part of why learning to swim is so important.
The other side is the friendships you make and the support you receive.
This is the same for our kids' and adult swimming lessons.
A new manager for a new venue? 👀
Daisy joined us as a student 10 years ago...
She worked her way up from student to teaching assistant, teacher, and now manager of our brand-new site at Harton Academy in South Shields.
We are incredibly proud of her progress and we know she's going to smash her new role!

With lessons restarting soon, remember this...
Children NEED time and patience to learn their swimming skills.
Repetition is key to making "everything click".
One lesson might not show huge changes, but each session adds another layer of confidence and understanding.
Sometimes a child struggles with a skill one week, then suddenly performs it confidently the next.
The goal is to build great swimmers who want to continue exercising into adulthood.
Reminder lessons start:
Mwm- 4th Sept
Birtley -4th Sept
Harton - 7th Sept
"Swim City has been the BEST part of my last 6 months." 🥹
"Every Sunday, I look forward to waking up in the morning and coming here."
"I feel amazing after a session; it's good for my physical and mental health."
We are so so proud of all of our adult swimmers and the community they're building at their lessons.
It's amazing to see their progress 💙
