We’ve made a major decision for 2026:
All Art of Swimming Academy London teaching will take place at our Golders Green Academy.
We’re calling 2026 The Golden Year — a year where we can fully invest in one exceptional learning environment, offering more consistency, better facilities, and a richer experience for adults learning to swim or improving their technique.
Why We’re Making This Change
After reviewing feedback, numbers and the needs of adult learners, it became clear that Golders Green offers the strongest foundation for the kind of teaching and care we want to deliver.
This change isn’t about downsizing.
It’s about upgrading the quality of your experience.
A Pool Designed for Adult Learning
A longer pool
More space to glide, breathe and find rhythm without rushing or constant turning.
Warmer water
Essential for softening excess effort, reducing fear and helping adults learn efficiently.
Better changing facilities
Comfortable, brighter spaces that make the entire session — before and after — more enjoyable.
More Teaching Hours, More Choice
By focusing everything at one venue, we can offer:
-
A broader weekly timetable
-
More consistent course availability
-
Clear pathways from beginner to confident swimmer
-
Better continuity with your teacher
This continuity is key to adult progress.
Easier Access, Less Stress
Golders Green offers:
-
Excellent public transport
-
Simple driving routes
-
Local parking
-
Calm, straightforward access into the building
Arriving relaxed makes a huge difference for adult learners, especially those with anxiety or fear of the water.
A Learning Environment We Can Fully Invest In
Having one London home allows us to:
-
Keep class sizes ideal
-
Maintain consistently high teaching standards
-
Introduce new equipment, new programme ideas and new teaching approaches
-
Create a stronger, more connected sense of community
This is how we make 2026 a true Golden Year.

-
stop postponing,
-
give your body a kinder way to move,
-
and reclaim the water as a place of calm, confidence and joy.
Golders Green gives us the environment to support that fully.
