Swimming Lessons

Swimming is an essential life skill that every child should learn. At Dulwich College Sports Club we offer children’s swimming lessons ranging from non-swimmers right through to advanced swimmers.

Our lessons are taught by fully qualified ASA swimming instructors who are highly motivated and passionate about teaching swimming. The aim of our lessons is to teach your child how to swim, become water confident and to progress their ability to enable them to become competent swimmers, while having fun too! Group lessons take place on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays & Fridays; view the Course Directory download for more details.

There is currently a waiting list for swimming lessons. If you would like your child to go on the waiting list, please complete and submit the form below. You will be contacted when your child comes to the top of our waiting list for the swim level specified, so please advise us if your child is in-between levels or if they move up a level.

For details of current courses please see the Sports Course Directory download. If you have a query please contact Swimming Coordinator Jon Prater on praterj@dulwich.org.uk

If you wish to keep your child active then Tiger Sharks Swimming Club currently have spaces whilst you are on the waiting list; www.tigersharkssc.co.uk. They offer Non-Swimmer lessons on Thursdays 17:30-18:00 only, with additional sessions for higher levels.
