About us
Aquarius Swimming operates in the Tandridge area of Surrey, at venues in Caterham, Warlingham and Oxted.
Aquarius focuses on the development of the individual as an all-round swimmer. We encourage participation in nationally recognised programmes of awards and badges, enabling swimmers and their parents to track their progress.
Once basic swimming skills have been developed, we keep swimmers interested by introducing activities like water polo, early diving skills and life-saving, as well as swimming for fitness.
In addition, we are very pleased to be able to support the Tandridge Aquarius Swimming Squad (TASS).
We’re pleased to say that swimmers stay with Aquarius for many years. Most of our teachers learned to swim with us as children, and many former pupils bring their own children to us for lessons.
From January 2009 we adopted the Swim England National Plan for Teaching Swimming. Read our NPTS parental guide. In 2012 we adopted the RLSS Survive and Save Programme.

Notices and news
I wanted to say thank you so much for seeing Molly and Evie through their swimming lessons over the past few years — it has been invaluable for them. Unfortunately, the hospital has now advised both girls to stop the lessons to avoid pushing them too much physically. They can now just swim and play in the water for pleasure. I feel so blessed that they have been able to get to this point where they can both swim enough to be confident in the water. Thank you so, so much to you and all the wonderful, understanding teachers they have had in their time at Aquarius. I honestly can’t thank you enough.
I’ve just come back from our first swim and I am absolutely blown away!
Dhilan, who has been so anxious about swimming he has been waking up in the middle of the night in tears begging not to have to go and having nightmares about drowning, has come home happy and asking when his next lesson will be. I am still completely shocked at his confidence and progress in just one lesson. I honestly cannot put into the words how grateful I am to the amazing team at today’s lesson, particularly the young lady who looked after him today.
Equally, Nikhil came out of the pool out of breath having swam for the duration of the lesson (a new but positive experience for him and for me!). He too is excited for his next lesson.
Once again, thank you so so much – I only wish I had contacted you sooner!!
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the measures you are putting into place at Warlingham for swimming. It is really clearly set out and we feel very safe attending lessons. My two kids were a bit nervous about coming back to swimming. We are hoping that Moorhouse opens soon but until that point, Warlingham has been fab. Thanks as well for finding space for them so they could continue.
My boys love swimming with Aquarius! My oldest started as an absolute beginner, petrified of swimming, he’s doing lifesaving now. I highly recommend them. They’re brilliant.
Just to say a big thank you for the last few weeks. Clara has settled into swim lessons with no problem and your team is very professional with their setup and engagement. So thank you!
Brilliant swimming club! Lisa is fantastic with my children, I highly recommend.
Thank you to you all, the standard of teaching is second to none and each and every individual involved in this club needs to be very proud of themselves.
We just returned from our first class and it was absolutely fantastic! The children really enjoyed it, despite being very nervous to try somewhere new. I’d love to sign them up for the term.
So pleased with the persistence and patience of the teachers at Warlingham pool. My 6 year old has confidence in the water and enjoys going to class each week!
As I have said, James’ swimming has improved so much in the last year, but more so his enjoyment which as much as anything has made it worth the while taking him. Thank you for this.
I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the teachers, they were so good with the children. In particular, Lisa was lovely with Robin while she was assessing if the classes would be suitable for him. Both boys would like to continue with the swimming lessons.
Can I just say, we have been to a few different swim schools with varying standards however I found Aquarius to be really well run and it was so refreshing to have a higher ratio of staff to kids who were all attentive and engaged with the kids!
