About WetWetWet Swim School
Our history
WetWetWet SWIM SCHOOL was formed by Briony Jacobs in 2002 to provide expert swimming tuition for West Hove School during the academic day, forming part of the school curriculum. We were then requested by the head teacher to start an after school club for West Hove pupils, since then we’ve never looked back.
Where we are now
All these years later, we still feel passionate about teaching your children how to swim, and provide you with fun, safe and progressive swimming lessons that your children will be excited to return to week after week! We are flexible in approach and use varied teaching methods to suit different swimmers.
Our Values
We are constantly assessing and looking to improve our lessons so we can offer our swimmers the best service, best safe working practices and the best fun progressive swimming lessons in town!
Our Swimming Lessons
