Welcome to The Splash Academy, a leading swimming school located in Bolton, dedicated to teaching children from birth to 5 years old how to swim. Our facility has been thoughtfully designed to provide a purpose-built environment where families can enjoy the learning process together. We prioritise delivering an inclusive swim programme that remains family-focused, ensuring that every child's individual needs are met.

At The Splash Academy, we understand the importance of holistic child development and sensory experience. Our qualified instructors teach with these principles in mind, fostering strength, confidence, and a love for being in the water within a secure environment. We strive to create a positive and rewarding experience for both children and their families, making our swimming school the perfect place to embark on your swimming journey.

When you choose The Splash Academy, you can expect a range of exceptional amenities and services, including baby-friendly changing facilities, indoor car parking, a specially built warm water pool, and a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment. We also have a viewing gallery where you can relax and enjoy complimentary refreshments while watching your little ones learn and play.

Our swim programme is designed to cater to different age groups and stages of development. For newborn babies, we offer unique classes focused on nurturing the bond between baby and caregiver, utilising warm water as a sensory environment for relaxation. These classes also incorporate baby massage and yoga techniques to encourage skin-to-skin contact and deeper connexions.

As children grow into toddlers, our classes focus on building water confidence and teaching essential swim techniques to develop stamina and muscle strength. Safety in the water, hand-eye coordination, and balance are also emphasised.

For preschool-aged children, our final levels prepare them for the larger pool. These classes ensure they can swim independently, gain confidence, and have the stamina to swim widths and lengths. Each child will be assessed and awarded swim badges to reward their efforts.

The Splash Academy prides itself on our qualified instructors who have undergone child development training. Our venue boasts a purpose-built pool with a constant water temperature of 33 degrees Celsius for maximum comfort. We offer spacious changing facilities with underfloor heating and private cubicles to ensure a child and baby-friendly environment.
