Sonning Common Primary School has an on-site swimming pool and our Sonning Common Swim School offers lessons to all children (regardless of whether they attend the school or not).
The pool is 10m x 5m and is 1m deep, and is warm and ideal for learning to swim. The changing rooms are newly refurbished and offer communual and private changing areas and showers/toilet facilities.
The SC Swim School offer friendly and fun swimming lessons, to produce confident swimmers with good skills and a real love of swimming; the start of a journey to your child being a happy and confident swimmer.
The SC Swim School teachers are experienced, trained to ASA Level 2 and are patient friendly and caring. All classes after school have in-water helpers too. Please note we do not offer lessons on a Saturday morning.
If you would like your child to swim with us please contact Sarah by email : swimming@sonning-common.oxon.sch.uk
