# Michael Jamieson Swim Academy
Michael Jamieson Swim Academy is a swimming instruction provider based in Glasgow, delivering learn-to-swim programmes across Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire. Founded by Olympic and Commonwealth medal-winning swimmer Michael Jamieson, the academy specialises in teaching swimming to individuals of all ages and abilities, from babies as young as 3 months through to adults.
The academy serves families seeking high-quality swimming instruction with a focus on individual development rather than performance metrics. Their approach prioritises wellbeing, respect and child-led learning, particularly for younger swimmers. Parents appreciate the industry-leading 4:1 class ratio for entry-level lessons, ensuring personalised attention in a safe environment.
What distinguishes MJ Swim Academy is the combination of Michael Jamieson's elite sporting pedigree and a team of specialised STA Level 2 qualified instructors who bring genuine passion for swimming to their teaching. Rather than rushing progression, they emphasise building water confidence at each child's own pace. The academy offers a seamless progression pathway from baby classes through to pre-club level swimming, available in both group and one-to-one formats. For adults, they provide recreational and fitness-focused sessions designed to improve both physical health and mental wellbeing.
Their child-centred philosophy—requiring consent even from babies during lessons—sets them apart from more traditional swim schools. This commitment to individual journeys, combined with convenient multiple locations and qualified instruction, makes them an accessible choice for anyone wanting to learn swimming.
