FastFins is proud to be the exclusive provider of educational swimming lessons and coaching at Imperial College London. This long-standing sport partnership with one of the world's most illustrious universities is a testament to the exceptional quality of our swimming instruction.

Apart from teaching children, FastFins also offers 1:1 or 2:1 lessons for adults at a range of levels and specialities. Whether you are an absolute beginner or looking to improve your technique, our instructors can tailor the lessons to meet your specific needs and goals.

FastFins also works closely with schools to ensure that pupils learn, engage, and progress in swimming. Our swimming programme is designed to integrate seamlessly into school curriculums, providing students with valuable swimming skills and fostering a love for the sport.

The FastFins swimming lessons take place at various locations, including Imperial College London and our own facilities at Gadd House, Arcadia Avenue in London. These venues provide a comfortable and safe environment for our students to learn and practise their swimming skills.

At FastFins, we believe that teaching should be instructive, inspiring, and fun. We understand that a positive and enjoyable pupil experience is crucial to the learning process. Founded by Polish national champion swimmer Gabriela Rypinska-Grau MSc, FastFins combines her expertise with the professional knowledge of her team to create a robust and results-oriented swimming programme. Emphasising stroke technique, efficiency, and stamina, our programme enables all our pupils to achieve their desired level of competence in swimming.

The FastFins modular learn-to-swim programme is highly regarded in London, and our rigorous training regimen has enabled many of our talented swimmers to graduate to some of the capital's top swim clubs. Our focus on technique, progressive drills, and individualised instruction ensures that all our pupils receive the necessary training to excel in swimming.
