About WetWetWet Swim School Lessons

Small Class Sizes

Our beginner classes are capped at just 8 swimmers, with a dedicated assistant in the water to ensure each child feels safe, supported, and makes fast progress.

Improver, pre-competition, and adult classes also have a maximum of 8 swimmers, allowing for focused, high-quality instruction.

Squad sessions run for 45 minutes to 1 hour, with a targeted ratio of 1 teacher to 12 swimmers.

Our small numbers ensure our high standard of safety and individual attention.

Fully Qualified Teachers

Our staff are DBS enhanced checked and certified and STA / Swim England qualified. Our teachers are all qualified lifesavers ensuring the safety of our swimmers.

Pool Equipment

Please bring goggles and a swim hat, everything else, including floats, noodles, toys, smiles, and all other equipment, is provided for your child’s swimming lessons!

Keep In Touch Easily

At our larger pools, a receptionist is available during each session to discuss any aspect of your child’s swimming lessons, assist with purchasing goggles or swim hats on-site, and check you into your lessons.

Private Tuition Available

Private lessons (1-1, 2-1, and 3-1) offer a personalised approach to swimming, allowing your child to progress at their own pace in a supportive environment. With focused, one-on-one instruction, private lessons can quickly address specific areas of concern, helping children overcome challenges and move to the next stage faster. Whether it’s refining technique, building water confidence, or accelerating progress, private lessons ensure your child receives the guidance and encouragement they need to succeed.

Certificates & Progress Updates

You will be notified on a term by term basis of your child’s swim progression (certificates are an additional £5.00). We also supply our own in house ‘E’ certificates which are of course without charge.

What our swimmers say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since joining the club in April this year we have been so impressed with all the progress both our children have made. As a headteacher, I appreciate the kind (but no nonsense approach) of both instructors. They are nurturing, kind, have a good sense o humour and ensure all the children remain focused...

My 3 children have swam with Wet Wet Wet since 2009. They joined at just school age, and now my eldest is 14. They are all so confident in the water safe and really strong swimmers. The teachers go above and beyond and really care about if the children are happy and progress... I’m so glad my children have continued with Wet Wet Wet...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Over the years both my kids and myself have had lessons with Wet Wet Wet. Rachel and Matt got me from not being able to swim a length of front crawl to being really competent at it, and Rachel now (patiently!) teaches my daughter each week. The office are friendly, good communications and updates are clear. Classes are fairly priced and are at pools around Brighton on various days so lots of choice - thanks!
