About
An independent teaching pool in the heart of Kemptown.
Brighton Swimming Centre is established in Kemptown. Led by Managing Director Michael Kruger, what started as a one-week intensive course has grown into a centre that teaches over 750 swimmers a week. Last year, more people trained as swimming teachers at this pool than at any other in the UK.
We are independent. Everything we earn goes back into the pool, the teaching, and the community.
Our four arms — Brighton Swimming School, Pool to Pier, Swim UK and Hire — all run from the same 20m pool on Eastern Road. Same staff, same standards, same building.
Our standards
Qualified Staff
All staff DBS checked, teachers qualified through Swim England and the STA, lifeguards through the RLSS.
Small Classes
Maximum 8 children per class with 1:4 teacher ratio for early levels.
Safety First
Designated poolside supervisor at every session.
Established
Long established in Kemptown, teaching Brighton to swim.
Community partnerships
Where we can, we support causes that share our belief in water safety as a human skill, not a privilege. We've worked with All Out Africa, who develop swimming and lifesaving skills among children in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).
If you're a charity, school or community group with a partnership idea, get in touch.
