# Stollies Swim Academy Ltd
Stollies Swim Academy is a swimming instruction provider based in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, specialising in teaching children and adults to swim safely and confidently from their first experience in the water through to advanced techniques.
The academy serves families with children aged from 12 weeks upwards, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. They work with complete beginners, nervous swimmers, and those seeking to refine existing skills across mixed ability levels.
What distinguishes Stollies is their hands-on teaching philosophy. Rather than relying on buoyancy aids, instructors enter the water with pupils to provide direct guidance, enabling swimmers to develop proper technique and genuine confidence from the outset. Their small class sizes—ranging from one-to-one private lessons to carefully matched pairs—ensure personalised attention and progression at each child's own pace.
The academy offers tailored programmes including private 121 lessons, two-to-one sibling sessions, specialist SEND instruction adapted to individual needs, and parent-and-child classes for infants focusing on water confidence and survival skills. Their approach balances safety with enjoyment, aiming to nurture a genuine love of swimming rather than treating it as a mere checkbox skill.
The branding—"Swim Safely With Smiles"—encapsulates their dual commitment to rigorous water safety standards and creating a fun, supportive learning environment where progress is celebrated and anxiety is minimised.
