Celebrating 10 Years of STA Gold Status!

Swim With Me Shines Brighter Than Ever!

Hold onto your swimming costumes, everyone, because we’re celebrating something truly special!

For more than a decade, Swim-With-Me Ltd has proudly held Gold Swim Star Swim School status, awarded by the STA (Swimming Teachers’ Association). And now, the STA is officially recognising the swim schools offering adult and children’s swimming classes that have achieved and maintained this elite Gold level for 10 whole years.

And yes… we’re proud to say, we’re one of them!

To say we’re excited would be an understatement. We’re honoured, grateful, and absolutely bursting with pride, because this milestone celebrates not just one achievement, but ten years of unwavering commitment to excellence in swimming education.

What Being a Gold Swim Star Swim School for 10 Years Really Means ⭐

Gold status isn’t a one-time achievement. It’s something you earn, prove, and maintain year after year.

As a founding STA Swim Star Swim School (one of the first in the UK), Swim With Me has consistently been tested, measured, and checked across all areas of quality, including:

• Teaching standards
• Safety and safeguarding
• Policies and procedures
• Swimmer progression
• Customer care
• Staff development
• Operational excellence

And for more than a decade, we’ve been rated Gold!

This latest STA recognition celebrates the swim schools that’ve shown long-term, consistent dedication to delivering the highest standard of adult and children’s swimming classes, and we are so proud to be among them.

For our swimmers and families, it means:

• Highly qualified, expert instructors
• Small class sizes for real, visible progress
• Warm, supportive, family-friendly lessons
• Proven safety and quality assurance
• A trusted track record with thousands of swimmers

Being a Gold swim school for 10 years isn’t just a title; it’s a promise. A promise that every time you choose us, you’re choosing a school that puts safety, quality, and progression first.
