What to expect

Our pool at The Muswell Hill Club offers the perfect learning environment. We only have one teacher in the pool, teaching one swimmer. This means we can keep the distractions to a minimum, creating a safe and calm atmosphere.

Our specialised swimming instructor and founder, Sunee, has been working with children with additional needs for more than 20years. She will ensure that your child’s needs are met through a caring approach.

  • My daughter A. (10 y. o) has been swimming with Sunee for several weeks now. Sunee is a fantastic swimming instructor, highly skilled and experienced. She can identify the needs of a student and adjust her teaching approach accordingly. Very engaging and positive person you can see how commited she is to her work. A has developed more skills with Sunee in a short period of time than with any of her previous instructors. A. is autistic so I really struggled to find the right instructor for her. So glad we met Sunee!!! The pool is clean and nice,with good lighting and warm temperature. I love it)

FAQs

  • I only offer 1-2-1 lessons at The Muswell Hill Club. But we do offer 2-2-1 lessons at our Friern Barnet Location on Tuesday afternoons. Our baby lessons are conducted in groups.

  • As a rule - no, you don’t need to get in the pool with your child during “learn to swim” lessons. But for baby lessons are parent and baby lessons so you will be required to accompany your child in the water.

  • As a fully qualified STA instructor and tutor, we follow the STA International Learn to Swim program and parent and baby program. This program ties in with the school curriculum and also offers unique additional swimming programs and supporting awards. Please see the link for more info
