East Midlands Swimming Academy (EMSA) is a specialist swimming instruction provider established in 1998 by Sally Brooks, a former competitive swimmer and lifesaving instructor. Operating from private swimming pools across the East Midlands region, EMSA delivers tailored swimming lessons for infants through to competitive swimmers.
The academy serves families with babies as young as six weeks old through to school-age children and young people pursuing competitive swimming development. Their geographic reach extends across Derby, Nottingham, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and surrounding areas including Shirebrook, Castle Donington, Ravenshead, Alfreton, West Bridgford, Newark and Worksop.
EMSA distinguishes itself through several key differentiators. Firstly, their early intervention approach with EMSA Babies programme recognises water safety as a critical life skill from infancy. Secondly, their structured progression pathway—the Swim Tree—enables systematic skill development from beginners through to advanced competitive levels. Thirdly, their private pool facilities provide controlled environments ideal for building confidence and technique without the intimidation of public leisure centres.
The academy emphasises swimming's dual benefits: essential safety skills and excellent low-impact exercise supporting physical development, muscular strength, and cardiovascular health. Their experienced instructors create progressive learning journeys customised to individual abilities and ages.
