Meet the gang

Meet Splosh and friends

Meet Team Splosh – Splosh, Splish, Dip, Jet, and Dive. Best friends in and out
of the pool, this fantastic five are on a mission to help children across the North of England and Wales build water confidence, have fun, and develop a lifelong love of the water.

The Swish Academy gang

Together with our friendly swim teachers, children progress through 11 key stages of development, gaining essential life skills while enjoying a fun and rewarding introduction to fitness. 

Why us?

Why choose us?

We believe swimming is one of the most important life skills a child can learn. That’s why every lesson is designed to build confidence, progression and enjoyment in a safe, supportive environment.

Modern, spacious facilities

We own and operate all of our pools, offering modern, spacious facilities. With free parking and Thrive cafes in all locations, it’s a convenient and stress free experience at Swim Academy.


Structured, accredited progression

Children progress through
the trusted Swim England Framework, building confidence, water safety and swimming ability following a clear and structured pathway.


Flexible and convenient lessons

Our lessons have flexible start dates so children can start lessons at any time, rather than being locked into term blocks.

Can’t make a lesson? You can register up to 3 adult Swim Buddies, allowing trusted family members or carers to attend lessons with your child.


Understand your child’s development

Track your child’s progress through Splosh’s Chat - a dedicated 10-minute group feedback session with your swim teacher after every lesson.


Dedicated swim teachers

Friendly and experienced swim teachers deliver lessons focused on creating safe, supportive and engaging learning environments.


Celebrate your child’s achievements

Free certificates, including Swimmer of the Week, presented to your child after lessons to recognise progress, celebrate their achievements, and to help them develop a lifelong love of the water.
