At Tom Dean Swim School, we’re proud to be visiting 50+ schools across the UK, delivering interactive water safety assemblies and sharing powerful educational videos with secondary schools and colleges.
Our mission is simple: help young people understand the dangers of open water and give them the knowledge to stay safe this summer and beyond.
Together, we can help save lives through education, awareness, and prevention.

We’re proud to announce triple Olympic gold medallist Tom Dean as RLSS UK’s celebrity ambassador.
This landmark partnership is driven by one goal: helping more people enjoy the water safely and confidently. As accidental drowning remains a leading cause of preventable death, spreading clear, lifesaving advice has never been more important.
On 17 June, Tom will support RLSS UK’s Drowning Prevention Week with a water safety education event hosted by Tom Dean Swim School in Maidenhead. More than 500 pupils from six local primary schools will receive essential knowledge through live rescue demonstrations by the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Follow along to see the impact this partnership will make.
🎥 We’re inviting media to be part of the day and help amplify this vital, lifesaving message. Interested in attending or covering the event? Contact our Marketing team at [email protected] to get involved.

A review from a parent is brilliant. A review from a swim teacher who’s also a parent….Even better. ⭐
