About Swimrite
Over 30 years of swimming excellence in West Yorkshire. Discover our story, our mission, and what makes us the trusted choice for swimming lessons.
Our Story
Established in 1994, Swimrite was founded in response to the huge demand for high-quality swimming lessons in West Yorkshire. For over three decades, we've been dedicated to teaching swimming with excellence, safety, and care.
What started as a small swimming school has grown into West Yorkshire's most trusted name in swimming instruction. We've taught thousands of children and adults to swim, from complete beginners to competitive swimmers.
Our founder recognized that traditional swimming lessons often fell short of providing the personal attention each student deserves. That's why Swimrite was built on the principles of small class sizes, water-based instruction, and highly qualified teachers.
