Sutton & Cheam Swimming Club

Overview

Sutton Cheam Swimming Club is a lovely spot for kids to dive into the world of swimming. With a focus on friendly coaching and community spirit, it feels more like a family than just a club. It's been around for a while now, and many local parents, including myself, have found it to be a great choice for children who want to take their swimming skills to the next level. The atmosphere can vary, but on the whole, you'll find a welcoming vibe, especially among those who've been members for years. Suitable for All ages welcome.

The coaching team works really hard to ensure children not only develop their swimming techniques but also learn the importance of discipline in the water. While it can take a bit of effort for kids to get selected for competitive squads, those who do seem to flourish. However, it's worth noting that not everyone has had a positive experience, with some parents expressing concerns about the attitude of staff. So, it's a good idea to pop by and see how your little ones respond before fully committing.
