We are a small swimming school for children aged 3 upwards, based on the Wirral, where we’ve built reputations for really caring about how children progress in swimming. Our small class sizes and in water teaching, means we can give every child the attention they deserve to become a confident swimmer.
Our swim school started in 2014, and we now have 3 venues in West Kirby, Pensby and Woodchurch. This means we can provide swimming lessons in smaller pools, with room for your child to progress, to swimming 25 metre lengths at Calday Grange swimming pool.
Our swimming lessons are adapted to each child to ensure progress to the best of their ability, while having fun. We believe that every child matters.

Who we are
Hayley
Hi, I’m Hayley, owner of Hayley’s Swimming School.
Having swum for Hoylake Swimming Club and City of Liverpool Swimming Club when I was younger, I have always been involved in swimming either doing it, coaching it or teaching it. I have taught swimming for over 30 years on the Wirral to all ages. I am qualified as a Swim England Level 2 Swimming Teacher and Coach, I have tutored the STA swim teacher qualification and I am a qualified primary school teacher. I pride myself on going the extra mile for the children who attend my swimming school and want to ensure you and your child get the most out of their swimming lessons.
Outside of the swim school, I swim mostly in open water, having completed a Solo English Channel in August 2019. My next challenge is swimming the length Lake Zurich and Lake Annecy in 2022.
