# International Swimming Academy
International Swimming Academy is a specialist swimming school established in 2014, based in West London (W12 9JA) and serving the surrounding areas. Founded by Miguel and Silvia, the academy teaches water safety and swimming skills to babies and children from 3 months old onwards, with lessons running throughout the week including weekends.
The academy serves families seeking confident, independent swimmers who can manage water safely without relying on buoyancy aids or armbands. They cater to children of all developmental abilities, accepting beginners regardless of age or ability level.
What sets International Swimming Academy apart is their proprietary methodology centred on the "Kick-Float-Kick" technique for water safety. This hands-on approach teaches children to perform a back-float for rest and breathing, even whilst fully clothed—a critical survival skill. Their proven results include babies as young as 3 months floating independently and children aged 3.5–5 years swimming 25 metres.
The academy offers two distinct pathways: the Water Safety Programme (from 3 months) and the Ready to Swim Programme (from 3.5 years) teaching traditional swimming strokes. All lessons are individually tailored to each child's age, level and development. Their inclusive philosophy means any child can begin, regardless of their starting point.
Beyond London-based lessons, International Swimming Academy offers children's courses and swimming instructor training worldwide, making them accessible globally for families seeking their specialised approach to aquatic education.
