Kings School, Winchester SO22 5PN
# Business Description
Kerrie Lacey Swimming (KLS) is a family-run swim school based in Winchester, offering swimming lessons for children aged 3 and upwards, plus adult instruction. Operating from Kings School on Romsey Road, the business provides both group and one-to-one tuition tailored to all ability levels, from complete beginners to advanced swimmers pursuing lifesaving qualifications.
Founded in 1996 as Swim with GymCo, KLS has been under the ownership of husband-and-wife team Kerrie and Gavin Lacey since 2019. The school employs 14 fully qualified swimming teachers and 15 trained assistants, many progressing towards their own teaching credentials, ensuring lessons are delivered by experienced, caring professionals.
What distinguishes KLS is their structured progression pathway using Swim England's Duckling and Waterskills badges, alongside distance awards and Bronze, Silver, and Gold Challenge badges. Advanced swimmers can pursue RLSS Rookie Lifeguard awards, providing clear achievement milestones. Their Swim Star Accreditation demonstrates adherence to high teaching standards and quality assurance.
The business positions swimming as an essential life skill rather than mere recreation, emphasising water safety and confidence-building alongside enjoyment. Their local, community-focused approach—rooted in decades of combined teaching experience across renowned Winchester schools—creates a warm, welcoming environment for families. This combination of longevity, professional expertise, structured progression, and genuine community values sets KLS apart from larger, less personalised swim providers.
