Dedicated to Teaching Individuals to Swim Confidently
Welcome To Swim4it
A private swim school in Halstead Sevenoaks, with small classes and caring teachers. We teach term time, weekly lessons in line with school dates. Here at Swim4it we have classes for all ages and abilities.
In addition to traditional swimming lessons we also offer family swim lessons where siblings can learn together.
We take pride in the fact that all of our lessons are fun and personal, adapted to suit your child's interests and ability, whether that be super heroes or princesses, there is always something we can do to help encourage your child to swim.
Our private swimming pool provides a warm and calm environment, with no background distractions. Swimming lessons are often made up of a group of friends for extra enjoyment & support.
We aim to organise lessons around your schedule where ever possible.
Swim4it provides something different to traditional swimming lessons. From the moment you walk in you will feel our emotionally and intellectually stimulating environment. It’s more than the toys & games chosen to inspire kids, more than the lessons crafted not only to teach kids how to swim but also to build their character through guided play. More than a shiver-free pool heated to 30°. There is something unexpected, something that propels Swim4it Swimming School beyond typical. It’s passion.
This passion quickly rubs off onto all those that par take in a Swim4it lesson. It's hard not to love the water, when you're having so much fun!
A passion born in the heart of a mum who had a desire to deliver experiences to children and their families which would enrich them for a lifetime. Learning to swim opens up so much possibility for fun…allowing everyone to enjoy holidays, diving, surfing, kayaking and every water based sport. It gives parents the reassurance that their children can take part in such activities as they develop into competent and sensible swimmers.
Swim4it teaches love, respect and safety in the water, whilst enjoying every minute!
We understand that, as a parent, your child's safety is of the upmost importance. Swim4it believe that your swimmers deserve to be in the best hands at all times, which is why all our instructors have comprehensive qualifications which they continually develop.
In addition, we always keep our classes small and ensure a max student to teacher ratio of 4:1.
Meet Ros
I have loved swimming from a very young age, and spent most of my life dreaming of working in the water with dolphins, my favourite animal. I have been lucky enough to swim with dolphins on many occasions in the wild, and it is the best feeling ever! I did my Padi diving certificate whilst backpacking around the globe in Thailand and in Australia. I have a love and curiosity for marine life and the ocean, swimming has made me fulfill dreams of being able to swim surrounded by such wonders!
I have 3 daughters, who from a young age had swim lessons. They had a wonderful swim instructor who was full of energy and enthusiasm, and my girls loved swimming with her. I was inspired by their instructor to change my career path as I realised swimming had always been my passion, and that the office life was not for me. In July 2018 I qualified to become a swim instructor and soon after started to teach friends children. Swim4it Ltd was establised in September 2020 as my swim business had grown so signficantly that I needed staff who I could train to teach with the fun, and calm ethos that I believe in. My passion for swimming has rubbed off on my 3 girls, my 12 year old is a regional level swimmer and dreams of the Olympics, her and my 9 year old are also in the 7oaks Synchronised swimming team. My 6 year old is just starting her swim journey in competing at 7oaks swim club, whilst also continuing her lessons with me.

Meet John
I am from Canada and am Rosalind's husband.
Both of my parents can’t swim so swimming for me as a child was always about learning in a class, I never got to have fun pool time as a family. Rosalind, was so keen on swimming, she got all of our daughters straight into it and I’ve loved watching them and taking them to their galas. I would spend hours watching YouTube videos to help improve their technique. I have worked doing all sorts of things, teaching snow sports- skiing, snowboarding and ice hockey, factory work, office work, carpentry, electrician, decorating, gardening but have never been as happy as I was when I was coaching sports. So I decided to re train and become a swimming instructor in July 2020 and join Rosalind. So far I love it!

Meet Mike
I was a latecomer to swimming until at around the age of 9 a brilliant swim teacher took me from being a non-swimmer to to a length swimmer in a couple of hours, sadly I cannot remember how she did it! From then on I had some catching up to do and couldn't be kept out of the water.
I developed a love of underwater swimming soon learning to swim widths then lengths on a single breath, usually looking for dropped money at the local Lido, other people's carelessness often buying me free swims and ice creams!
From there I went on to snorkelling and sub aqua until ear drum issues brought a halt to my diving and sadly my nearly completed scuba instructor training too.
I am now a Swim England level 2 and a parent and child teacher, something which I love doing. Away from the pool I am also a qualified Swedish and sports massage therapist.
In my spare time I like running, having completed distances from 5K to Ultras and also race Kayaks over similar distances, though PB's in both are now sadly a thing of the past.
The next I’d like to pursue within swimming is to work with aqua phobic adults to help them overcome their fear of water. According to the Royal Life Saving Society in the UK well over 10 million people will not go into a pool due to fear with 7% (4 million) of us too scared to even have a bath, and I’d love to be able to help bring those figures down.

Meet Grace
I have always had a love for the water and have swam for as long as I can remember. From the age of eight until eighteen I swam competitively and trained six days a week - my dedication for the sport paid off and I proudly achieved first place in the Kent Championships, two years running and second place in the Regional Championship.
I have now been a qualified Level Two Swimming Instructor for eight years. I have gained a lot of experience in teaching all types of people and age ranges. I take pride in teaching children and adults to stay safe in the water by becoming strong, competent swimmers.
Meet Gosia
I was brought up in a very sporty household. I was surrounded by all kinds of sports as both my parents used to teach PE. I followed their steps and got my Masters in Academy of Physical Education in my home country of Poland. My love for sports encouraged me to train to become a Swimming Instructor.
Since becoming a mum of two children my mission to teach has become stronger than ever. In 15 years of swim teaching I can certainly say that it is not only a life skill but a great way to spend free time, have fun and enjoy aquatics.
