# Aquarius Swim School
Aquarius Swim School is a specialist swimming instruction provider based in Barnstaple, North Devon, serving learners from babies through to adults. They deliver comprehensive swim tuition across both group and private lesson formats, catering to complete beginners through to advanced swimmers seeking stroke refinement and stamina development.
The school distinguishes itself through several distinctive offerings. They operate an innovative Mermaid/Merman/Mono Fin programme—a 12-week specialist course where swimmers learn to use mermaid tails and mono fins whilst working towards the STA Mermaid and Mono Fin Award scheme. This programme was developed by their Swimschool Manager, Charlotte, adding genuine expertise to their unique proposition.
Aquarius particularly excels in serving underrepresented demographics. They provide dedicated adult swim lessons in quieter sessions, recognising the anxiety many adults experience when learning to swim, and actively support specific training goals including triathlon preparation and forces training. Their second group lesson discount at 50% off encourages progression and continued engagement.
A standout partnership with SMART Swim Centre offers all children aged 15 and under complimentary public swimming access, facilitating continued skill development beyond weekly lessons. This represents genuine added value for families.
Their staffing philosophy—emphasising team and family culture—suggests an environment focused on personalised, supportive instruction. They actively recruit part-time instructors, indicating sustainable growth and community investment.
