# Gliders Swimming
Gliders Swimming is a family-run swimming school based in Feltham, West London, founded by mother-and-daughter team Nat and Glaucia. With over 30 years of combined teaching experience, they offer inclusive swimming lessons for babies, children, adults and those with additional needs.
The school follows the STA Learn to Swim Programme, a progressive seven-grade curriculum that accommodates swimmers at any starting point. Each swimmer receives a personalised assessment during their initial lesson to ensure correct level placement and individual attention throughout their journey.
What sets Gliders Swimming apart is their commitment to small class sizes—capped at just 4-8 students depending on age group—ensuring every learner receives focused, quality instruction. This contrasts sharply with many London swimming schools where large classes compromise teaching quality. Their warm, personalised approach helps build genuine confidence in water rather than rushing through qualifications.
Founded from personal experience, Nat created Gliders Swimming after struggling to find affordable, high-quality lessons in London. The school deliberately prices lessons accessibly at £13 per lesson, billed monthly via direct debit. They're equally passionate about nurturing a lifelong love of water, recognising that quality early experiences shape attitudes towards swimming for years to come.
Operating from Bedfont Primary School, they offer flexible scheduling Monday to Sunday, serving the growing community demand for specialist, attentive swimming instruction in the Feltham area.
