The Dolphin Swimming School is a family run business established in 1975 by Marianne Davies,an ex competitive swimmer and a former P.E teacher.

The school gives a high standard of swimming tuition in a safe,friendly environment for children of all abilities from 3 years of age.

At our 3 luxury venues in Barnet, St Albans and Potters Bar, the classes are small at all levels and there is also a swimming co-ordinator present at all sessions to help with any queries. With the same teachers throughout the course our pupils are able to gain in confidence and are encouraged onto the next level.
The school offers a wide variety of lessons including,group,one 2 one ,2 to 1 and Rookie life saving as well as single sexed classes.

Our aim is to produce,safe confident swimmers with a high standard of stroke technique and to give them the skills required to enjoy any water based activity.

The school works within the A.S.A National plan for teachers and all the children aim towards achieving an A.S.A award at the end of each term.There are also oppourtunities to advance to both personal survival and R.L.S.S awards. We look forward to you joining us.

"The swim school is just great-we’ve seen all our children progress to be confident swimmers in a sociable setting.
Our last child was only 3 years of age when she achieved her 5metre badge. Our eldest son now swims for the county, thanks to the excellent tuition at  The Dolphin Swimming School."

Mrs C.  Barnet

"Teaching a child to swim is a life saving skill my son will have forever. With only 2 other children in his class, Josh learnt to swim in his first term.Amazing value for money.Thank you Marianne, and your amazing teachers.
I would definitely recommend the swim school to others."
