HEARTS SWIM SCHOOL
Building confidence, skills, and a love of swimming
The Heart of Midlothian Swim School helps children develop confidence, safety, and strong swimming skills through a fun, structured programme that builds a lifelong love of the water.
Our lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and rewarding, allowing every child to progress at their own pace. We recognise that children develop at different rates, so our qualified teachers tailor each class to suit individual needs. The focus is always on enjoyment, skill development, and confidence — helping swimmers feel proud of every splash and stroke.
OUR APPROACH
Each session follows a clear pathway that develops key aquatic skills, body position, and stroke technique. Children gain water confidence, improve coordination, and learn the value of perseverance and teamwork.
All of our teachers are qualified, experienced, and PVG-checked, providing a safe and encouraging learning environment. Small group sizes ensure personal attention and a positive, nurturing atmosphere where every swimmer can thrive.
what to bring
To help your child get the most from their lessons, please make sure they bring:
– A swimming costume (no baggy shorts, as they restrict movement)
– Goggles
– Swimming cap
– Towel
– A water bottle (optional but encouraged)
Join our swim school
Many of our swimmers begin their journey here before progressing into our club squads, continuing to develop their technique and confidence as part of the wider Hearts family.
