# East Midlands Swimming Academy School
East Midlands Swimming Academy (EMSA) is a specialist swimming instruction provider established in 1998 by Sally Brooks, a former competitive swimmer and lifesaving enthusiast. Based in Newark with locations across the East Midlands including Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Lincolnshire, EMSA operates private swimming pools dedicated to teaching water safety and swimming proficiency.
The academy serves families with young children, specialising in baby swimming lessons for infants from just 6 weeks through to 3 years old. They also provide pre-school and competitive swimming programmes, making them a comprehensive provider across all age groups and ability levels. Their approach recognises swimming as a critical life skill and low-impact exercise that develops muscle strength, coordination and cardiovascular health in children.
What distinguishes EMSA is their exclusive use of private pools rather than public facilities, ensuring controlled environments ideal for young learners and nervous swimmers. This infrastructure allows personalised instruction and safer progression through their Swim Tree framework—a structured pathway documenting each child's development. The academy's longevity since 1998 and founder Sally Brooks's personal swimming background underpin their credibility and experience.
EMSA emphasises water safety education alongside skill development, with dedicated content on staying safe in the water. Their multi-location presence across the region makes them accessible to families throughout the East Midlands and beyond.
