Splash Academy
Programme
Welcome to Splash Academy
We proudly offer swimming lessons in Berkshire and Surrey, helping children in the local area develop lifelong swimming skills in a safe and fun environment. At Splash Academy, we provide fun, progressive, and vibrant swimming lessons designed to help your child develop confidence and essential swimming skills. Our structured lessons follow the Swim England curriculum, ensuring each child moves through recognised stages while enjoying their time in the water.
Small Classes for Big Progress
We believe in personalised learning, which is why we keep our class sizes small—a maximum of 6 children per class. This allows our experienced and friendly instructors to give each swimmer the attention they need, ensuring steady progress and building water confidence in a supportive environment.
We cater to swimmers of all levels, running classes from Stage 1 to Stage 7, with each stage focused on improving technique, stamina, and water safety. For those looking to take their swimming to the next level, we offer a Stamina Class that incorporates fitness and technique, preparing swimmers for club-level training.
Children will have the opportunity to earn distance, skill, and stage badges as they progress through the levels. We continually assess swimmers throughout each term, awarding certificates to celebrate their achievements and keep them motivated.
Intensive Holiday Courses
We also run intensive courses during school holidays, offering an excellent opportunity for children to boost confidence, refine skills, or focus on specific techniques they may need extra help with. These short-term courses are ideal for those wanting to accelerate their learning in a fun and structured setting.
Supportive and Experienced Instructors
Our friendly, highly trained instructors are dedicated to making every child feel comfortable in the water. Whether your child is progressing from our baby swim school or joining us as a new swimmer, we create a welcoming environment where every swimmer can thrive. Learn more about our instructors here.

How did the Splash Academy start?
Our new Splash Academy classes launched in January 2025. Harriet has 4 children of her own and when they left Baby Splash and moved on to 'older' swimming lessons it was a struggle for her to watch due to high numbers (mostly 12 in a class), tiny sections of pool space & such slow progress. She had the opportunity to expand the swim school and grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
What experience do you have with older children?
Harriet taught older children before she taught babies, she is fully qualified through the ASA & she swam competitively all the way in to her teenage years giving her a wealth of knowledge on technique and stamina. She is supported by a fabulous team of teachers that also have lots and lots of experience.
How will it work?
Our classes follow the Swim England curriculum. Children progress through Stages 1-7, earning distance, skill, and stage badges along the way.
How many children are in a class?
We have a maximum of 6 children in a class who are continually assessed throughout each term and will be awarded a certificate.
