# East Midlands Swimming Academy
East Midlands Swimming Academy (EMSA) is a specialist swimming instruction provider established in 1998 by Sally Brooks, a former competitive swimmer and lifesaving champion. Based in Alfreton DE55 7AL, the academy operates multiple private swimming pools across the East Midlands region, including locations in Shirebrook, Derby, Castle Donington, Nottingham, Ravenshead, West Bridgford, Newark, Worksop, and throughout Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
EMSA serves families with children from 6 weeks through to competitive level swimmers. Their progression-based approach begins with EMSA Babies, offering dedicated lessons for infants and toddlers up to 3 years old, then extends through pre-school programmes to competitive swimming training. The academy emphasises water safety alongside skill development, recognising swimming as an essential life skill and low-impact exercise suitable for all ages.
What distinguishes EMSA is their long-standing expertise, having operated for over two decades with founder Sally Brooks's personal competitive background informing their coaching philosophy. They utilise private pools exclusively, enabling controlled environments ideal for young learners and nervous swimmers. The academy's structured Swim Tree progression framework provides clear development pathways, whilst their multi-location reach offers accessibility across a wide geographic area. Recent content highlighting community engagement and individual swimmer stories demonstrates their commitment to personalised instruction and building confident, capable swimmers.
