# Bridgwater Swim Academy
Bridgwater Swim Academy, operated by Bridgwater Amateur Swimming Club since 1894, provides swimming lessons for children aged 12 months to 14 years at Polden Bower School in Bridgwater. Classes run Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, plus Saturday mornings, catering to non-swimmers, beginners, improvers and advanced swimmers across multiple ability levels.
What distinguishes the academy is its deliberately small, intimate approach. Rather than maximising pupil numbers, the club prioritises individualised support, ensuring each child receives tailored instruction as they develop this essential life skill. This philosophy extends beyond learn-to-swim provision—the academy serves as a pathway into competitive swimming, with progression routes into Bridgwater Amateur Swimming Club's various squads at 1610 Trinity Sports & Leisure and Quantock Lodge for those showing aptitude.
The academy appeals to families seeking quality instruction with genuine pastoral care. Current availability exists for February 2024 onwards, with spaces remaining limited due to the intentionally constrained cohort sizes.
Membership includes Swim England affiliation, providing insurance cover, access to member competitions and exclusive discounts. The club facilitates social events and competitive opportunities, helping young swimmers develop confidence both in and out of the water.
All prospective members receive a complimentary taster session before committing to enrolment, reducing barriers to participation.
