How to Use the SSI Accredited Swim Centre Directory

This directory introduces swim centres participating in the Swim Schools International network. Use each profile as a starting point, then contact the provider directly to confirm current programmes, instructors, venues, schedules, fees, availability and any local requirements.

What accreditation indicates

Accreditation provides a structured framework for reviewing areas such as instructor development, curriculum, operating procedures, safety, learner communication and quality assurance. It does not mean that every centre offers the same programmes or that a qualification, course or service is accepted by every employer, facility or authority.

Prospective learners and families should check whether the provider’s current services match their needs. Operators can review the SSI swim school accreditation standards for a practical overview of the systems a professional swim school should maintain.

Questions to ask a swim centre

• Which learner ages, abilities and programme types are currently available?
• What qualifications and role-specific training do instructors hold?
• How are learners assessed and progress communicated?
• What supervision, safeguarding and emergency procedures apply at the venue?
• How are cancellations, make-up lessons, payments and complaints managed?
• How does the centre adapt teaching for individual communication, sensory or mobility needs?

For broader guidance, see the water safety education hub and the adaptive and autism-inclusive programme guide.

Information for swim school operators

Operators considering accreditation should first review their curriculum, instructor pathway, standard operating procedures and evidence of quality assurance. Accreditation should support continuous improvement rather than function only as a marketing badge.
