About Us
Azzurra Swimming Academy was founded in the aim of delivering premium swimming lessons in the heart of London. Our goal is to nurture a passion and appreciation for the sport of swimming in our students through the provision of high-standard technical caoching. The lessons are tailored to the specific needs of our students, and we offer private (one-on-one) lessons, or semi-private (two-three swimmers). All children over the age of 5 and adults are welcome!
Our Swimming Programs
The programme consists of 10 levels, ranging from confidence in the water to a competitive swimmer. Students can check their progress through our app.

How often should my child be training to see improvement?
