Have fun and learn to swim with confidence at Swim Scene Sussex…

Summer Intensive Course 2025 open for registration from April… Excited to be offering this week of swimming again this year!

About us

Our swim teaching philosophy is based in THREE WORDS - Focus, Fun and Feel!

Focused well-planned lessons….a lot of fun built in…and every swimmer developing a great feel for and friendship with water. In our lessons, We follow the Swim Teachers’ Association (STA) progression and awards system. We offer excellent, quality swimming lessons, from beginners in the pool to swimming stroke correction.

We limit class sizes especially of younger children (typically 4 to 5 children maximum), which produces far better results than larger class sizes, as each child receives substantially more teacher help and focus in the class.

I look forward to our swimming journey together!

About our swimming lessons

Swim Scene Sussex offers fulsome and fun swimming lessons for children, babies and toddlers. We are based in West Sussex, serving clients in Horsham, Handcross, Crawley, Haywards Heath, Lower Beeding, Nuthurst, Bolney and other Mid-Sussex towns and villages.

We operate from Handcross for swimming abilities from Beginners to Squad swimming. We operate from Nuthurst (a stone’s throw from Horsham) for more after school lessons as well as Parent &Baby/Toddler swimming classes.

Swimming lessons are tailored to various abilities. We have classes for the general age ranges of four to fourteen, from new beginners through to stroke correction, and swimming squads, based at the beautiful pool in Handcross Parl School grounds. I place a lot of attention on grouping abilities, and keeping classes to a maximum of four, especially for the younger groups.

Pools & Swim Teaching Team

We offer lessons iat beautiful swimming pools in the West Sussex area, currently based in Handcross and Nuthurst.

Across our Sussex pools, we are a tight-knit team of swimming teachers (see “teachers” tab), all committed to our core philosophy and to creating a safe, fun, learning environment for your child in the water, as s/he progresses in confidence and skills in the water.

  • “My two daughters have been swimming with Glenda and her team at Swim Scene for three years and have progressed hugely in that time. The lovely swim instructors are brilliant at tweaking their technique to see real improvements in their swim strokes. They are now both competent and confident swimmers who really enjoy their lessons. I cannot recommend Swim Scene highly enough.”

    Eleanor

  • “My son and daughter have been attending swimming lessons at Swim Scene for over a year now. Glenda and Lisa have been absolutely fantastic, my children’s confidence in the water has grown and their skills and coordination have significantly improved. They always enjoy their lessons and look forward to it every week. I cannot recommend Swim Scene highly enough, by far the best swim school we ve been to so far!”

    Katia

  • “Our 2 have been attending Swim Scene lessons for a few months now and I can only say that Glenda and her team have brought them on SO much. Thanks to the friendly, expert, and most importantly, fun teaching methods they have flourished into confident swimmers who love to achieve the goals their teachers set. Glenda is very accommodating and will do her best to assist you with any issues. I cannot recommend Swim Scene enough if I were to be asked about where would I look for swimming lessons. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

  • “Glenda has been teaching my 2 daughters to swim for the last 4 years. I can honestly say after having experience of various swim schools over the last 8 years, Glenda and her team are the best of them all. The girls genuinely look forward to their weekly lessons and I can see improvement week on week for both girls. Happy smiling faces from start to finish!”

    Dannii

  • “We are the grandparents of a 12 year old boy. He hadn't learnt to swim when he was young, and now was frightened of the water. He wouldn't put his face into the wash hand basin. With his swimming lessons with Glenda he can now swim above and below the water, and we now have a problem getting him out of the pool!! Glenda's expert knowledge, kindness, encouragement and fun making lessons accounted for his ability to learn to swim, and I can't thank her enough for all her efforts in making this happen”

    Maureen

  • "Both my children have been swimming with Glenda for three years and not only have they progressed immensely, they both look forward to their swimming lessons every single week! Glenda always goes the extra mile to include fun and engaging themes in her lessons with various toys, games and songs. I couldn't recommend Swim Scene enough!"
