1st Swim School was founded in 2000 by Philomena Geary to teach swimming to babies and children up to 12 years old.  Phil is one of the most experienced swim teachers in Sussex- indeed she has taught many local swim teachers how to teach! She works closely with the STA (Swimming Teachers Association) to help develop their teaching and training methods and runs many of their teacher training courses.

Phil is an expert in teaching even the most nervous child how to enjoy swimming. After all, that’s what it’s all about – learning how to have fun in the water whilst staying safe.

It is 1st Swim School’s philosophy that each child can develop their swimming ability at their own pace. This means classes are restricted to a ratio of four pupils per teacher during the important early stages of learning.

All 1st Swim School teachers are fully ASA/STA qualified, hold lifesaving certificates and have undergone First Aid training.

The ability to keep safe in and around water is the main focus of 1st Swim School’s teaching. Knowledge of when it is safe and not safe to enter the water, good swimming technique, and water skills taught in a fun, non-competitive manner.

In addition to being a well-established small swim school, 1st Swim School is proud of the links it has formed with other swimming organisations both on an international,  national and local level.
