S4 Swim School
Swimming lessons for children and adults, established in Birmingham in 2006.
About this business
S4 Swim School was established in 2006 with a clear objective to provide an excellent level of swimming lessons and coaching for children and adults. Its mission statement is a 'Commitment to Continuing Swimming Development', and it promotes continuous swimmer development with clear pathways for swimmers to progress.
The children's learn-to-swim programme is designed for ages approximately 3 years and above, with 30-minute term-time lessons and a maximum of just 7 swimmers per class; some venues operate even smaller class sizes. At non-swimmer and beginner levels (Octopus/Goldfish), groups typically benefit from 2-3 members of the teaching team, and sessions are overseen by a dedicated Swim Coordinator who monitors swimmer development and progression.
Alongside children's lessons, S4 offers S6 Swim Coaching for children aged 8 and over, 60-minute adult lessons for ages 16 and over, RLSS Rookie Lifeguard Pool courses, and intensive holiday swim courses. The school follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Stage Awards (Stages 1 to 10), and its swimming teachers are Swim England/STA qualified with enhanced DBS checks.
