⭐️ Introducing our New Major Achievement Certificate! ⭐️

This special certificate is awarded to swimmers who have completed all of our ability classes, including both of our top length standards, and progressed so far that they are ready to move on to a bigger pool. The standard will be high for us to sadly say they need to stop.

It recognises an incredible achievement, celebrating the dedication, confidence, and skills they have developed during their time with us. While we may be saying goodbye, it’s also the start of their next swimming journey - and we couldn’t be prouder of how far they’ve come!

Always sad to see a long standing family leave. They’ve done really well. Both made it to our top lengths class. Got a nice card and gift. We’ll miss them.

Swim England - the main swimming governing body has completed some major research stating "More than 70% of children taken out of lessons before they're competent in water". Scary thought!

Its not just getting about your child getting from A-B - A swimming teacher is trained at "How" your children gets to "B".

More than 70% of children are taken out of swimming lessons before they can swim competently – putting them at risk in the water.

💦 Welcome to Strokes Swim School! 💦

We’re a private swim school in Stevenage teaching children to swim with confidence, great technique, and lots of fun and laughter - for over 20 years.

Why families love Strokes:
🏊 Warm hydrotherapy pool
💴 Lowest lesson fees around
👨‍🏫 Teachers in the water for beginners & improvers
👶 Small classes (3-8 children)
🎯 High standards - badges earned properly
😄 Fun, creative lessons kids love
🌟 We get to know your child and identify their potential

We don’t just teach swimming - we help children feel confident in the water and actually look forward to lessons. From snorkelling and lifesaving to swimming in pyjamas and flippers, we keep things exciting as they progress!

We’ve never formally advertised - every family finds us through recommendation (one parent even called us “Stevenage’s hidden treasure” - a comment we feel describes us perfectly 💙).

👶 Lessons from 3½ years old
⏳ Due to popularity, we do have a waiting list - you’ll find it’s worth a wait! (you can add someone to the list from 2 years old).
