Over the past few years, we’ve talked with many adults either can’t swim or aren’t confident in their swimming abilities. And that’s where our Adult curriculum comes in! This unique program takes our traditional British Swim School methods and applies them in a way that’s specifically designed to work with adult swimmers. For some, our goals are to help the swimmer feel comfortable and safe in the water. For others who have existing swim skills, our focus is on stroke development and more advanced swimming methods.

Overall, the most important element of this program is that everyone is working together and towards the same goal: water safety. Many individuals inaccurately associate drowning risks with children, but approximately 70% of drowning victims today are adults. Regardless of your age, knowing and practicing critical water safety skills Learning to swim as an adult can directly and indirectly save more lives by not enabling more individuals to save themselves or someone else in need.

Personalized Training to Achieve Your Goals

We recognize that every adult who comes into our program has a unique set of needs and goals and there is no “one size fits all” approach to teaching adult lessons. We work with you to review your goals, timeline and foundational skill set to provide a personalized curriculum that will meet your needs.

For ease of learning and teaching, we have modeled our British Swim School Adult program after our core program by structuring it into three levels: water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. This progression format leads to the best and most rewarding outcomes for adults in our program, and adults are able to start at the level that best matches their existing skills.

Depending on swimmer’s skill level and areas of need, the goals of our Adult program include:

Water acclimation and becoming comfortable in the water
Floating, treading water, and other skills to prepare you to learn full swim strokes
Learning and practicing traditional swimming strokes
Lifesaving water safety and survival skills
And more, depending on your goals!
