Welcome to SOS Swim School

S.O.S. School of Swimming was established in 1984 and soon gained its excellent reputation. The high standard of teaching has continued over the years and S.O.S. achieved a centre of excellence award. With pupils coming from as far as Dorchester and Salisbury (both 25 miles away) to our venue at St Michaels School, Colehill, evidence of how far our reputation has spread.

We cater for all ages and abilities, from babies to advanced swimmers. The groups are small (up to 5 for Pre-School and up to 7 for after school classes). Our approach is Friendly and Fun, after all children learn best when they are also having fun. The staff are friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. The children are constantly being assessed as children progress at their own pace and because of the flexibility of the swim school can move to the next level as soon as they are ready (not having to wait until the beginning of the next term to move up a level). We have exclusive use of the pools during lesson times.

Our beginners (group 1) and weak swimmers (group 2) have water based teachers as we have found children gain in confidence much quicker when their teacher is in the water with them and close to hand.
