The Guildford City Swimming Academy is aimed at children 3* – 8 years old who want to improve and develop into competitive swimmers.
The Academy is considered to be one of the finest swim schools in England with several hundred graduates who have gone on to success at both County and Regional level plus several who have enjoyed national recognition.
The main objective of the Academy is to provide youngsters with expert technique work to help them become proficient and legal in all four strokes. Emphasis is placed on coordination, breathing pattern and timing, streamlining and underwater skills. Pupils also learn competitive racing starts and turns on the four strokes.
The Academy takes a nurturing approach to an individual’s personal development and the acquisition of basic aquatic skills is spread over a suitable period and therefore accomplished with minimized pressure.

From April 2013 the Academy now incorporates a Penguin Learn to Swim section, teaching very inexperienced swimmers from 3 years of age.
