# Swim Skills School
Swim Skills School is an ASA-accredited swimming instruction provider based in Brighton, offering lessons from Stage 1 through Stage 10 for both children and adults. Founded by Virginia Hickey, an instructor with over 20 years' experience, the school operates from a compact, temperature-controlled pool ideal for early learners and therapeutic sessions.
The business serves families seeking quality swimming tuition, individuals with additional needs including autism and SEN, and those requiring adapted sessions for disabilities such as asthma and MS. Their inclusive approach extends to working with blind and deaf learners, demonstrating genuine expertise in personalised instruction.
What sets Swim Skills School apart is their commitment to small class sizes of just 3-4 pupils, ensuring each learner receives individualised attention rather than being lost in larger groups. This philosophy allows instructors to establish essential foundational techniques properly before progressing through advanced stages. All teachers are ASA Level 2 and STA-accredited with current CRB checks.
The school balances rigorous technical training with an engaging, fun approach using games and skills-based activities. Water safety education is woven throughout lessons as gentle, contextual reminders rather than stern rules. Staff undergo continuous in-house training, sharing techniques to maintain high standards. Their administrator Alice is particularly praised by parents for her compassionate work with children on the autism spectrum. This combination of qualified instruction, small group dynamics, and genuine care for individual development creates a supportive learning environment where children build confidence alongside essential swimming skills.
