About our Swim School
T.J Dolphins Swim School is a learn to swim programme, offering the best swimming lessons, delivered by the most experienced and qualified teachers.
Our lessons are based around the values of
Fun, Safety, Motivation, Technique and Confidence.
All children need to be safe in water, so we deliver our lessons in a way that swimmers see faster and better results by doing three to four times the amount of swimming that you would see in other learn to swim programmes. At our swim school, we provide afterschool and weekend classes designed to suit every child, all including lots of activity to keep our lessons buzzing with energy and passion.
Plus, we give lots of feedback and praise to swimmers, so they improve their swimming whilst feeling proud of themselves. At the end of each lesson, our teachers will update the parents on what the class has been working on and the next steps for their child’s swimming journey so parents can keep track of their swimmer's progress.

Our 5 Values
At T.J Dolphins Swim School, every swimming lesson is built on a strong foundation of values that define our approach to teaching and learning in the water. With every new swimmer that joins our programme, our core principles ensure that their experience is both safe and enriching for your child. Our swim school in Wigan is dedicated to more than just teaching swimming techniques—we’re committed to fostering an environment where fun, motivation, and confidence drive progress.
Your child’s safety is our #1 priority. We’re proud to have fully qualified and DBS checked teaching staff, who participate in regular training and our swimmers receive regular ‘water safety and survival’ lessons.
Nothing engages children more than making lessons fun... If it’s fun, they’re engaged. If they’re engaged, they’re learning!
We believe that the best way to get results from our swimmers is to motivate them by using positive communication, encouragement, and celebrating their achievements!
Our teachers produce swimmers who move through the water with control and technique. For our beginner swimmers, developing good technique is critical to develop independent swimming. For higher level swimmers, technique is essential to optimise distance, speed and stamina.
The ultimate goal for T.J Dolphins Swim School is to develop swimmers who are comfortable and capable in the water, as well as helping them grow into confident children.
These values ensure that every swimming lesson at our school in Wigan provides a comprehensive and enriching experience, fostering growth both in and out of the water.
