Over 25 Years’ of Experience
Waterlife Swim School was founded by Lizzie Emler after discovering the benefits of baby swimming with her son in 1998. Inspired by the positive impact swimming had on her family, Lizzie trained as a baby and toddler swimming instructor and spent almost ten years teaching with one of the UK’s leading swim schools.
In 2008, with their support, she established Waterlife Swim School. In 2020, Lizzie retired and passed the school to her long-standing instructor, Kirsty, who continues to deliver the same high-quality swimming lessons that families across South London and Surrey have trusted for many years.
Baby Swimming lessons from 3 Months
We welcome babies from approximately 3 months old, introducing them to the water in a calm, nurturing environment. Our small classes are led by enthusiastic, experienced instructors who work in the water with every family, helping each child build confidence, develop natural swimming ability, and achieve important milestones through play-based learning.
Adult Swimming Lessons & SEN Swimming Tuition
We also offer adult swimming lessons every Tuesday afternoon from 3:00pm to 4:30pm & Friday afternoon from 2:30pm to 4:00pm at the Holiday Inn in Sutton. Private 1-to-1 and 1-to-2 lessons are available for beginners, nervous swimmers, and adults looking to improve their technique.
Our instructors are also experienced in teaching children and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN), providing patient, personalised swimming lessons tailored to individual needs.
