Swimming lesson transfers

Due to change in management to GLL from 1 October, the final date to make a movement or transfer within the Swim School is Sunday 21 September 2025.

All movements and transfers will be suspended from 22 September until further notice.

Further updates to this information will be available after 1 October 2025.

Swimming lesson payments

Due to the upcoming change in management of both Teddington Pool and Pools on the Park to GLL on 1 October 2025, the final date to make payment for your current bundle of lessons is Sunday 21 September 2025. This only applies if you have fewer than four lessons remaining.

At this time, we do not yet know when payments will be reactivated under the new management.

If payment is not made by 21 September and your lesson bundle expires between 22 September and 4 October, you may lose your place in the Swim School.

Re-enrolment for existing pupils

Please ensure you have topped up your child’s account. If you have a GoLearn portal, you will be sent an email with 4, 3, 2 and 1 lessons remaining.

Children who have moved up a stage will be sent an email with information and a link to check availability.

Please check your child’s progress on the GoLearn portal. If this is below 100%, then your child will remain in the same class, day and time unless you request a change.

New pupil enrolment

Due to limited availability, we are currently unable to accept any new enquiries for Stage classes 1-5. This is due to the high volume of transfers at the end of last term which are still being processed.

• Adult and Toddler 12 to 24 months
