The Imagine family is diverse and international. What unites us is our love for swimming. While backgrounds will always vary, everyone on staff shares the same language of the water. Our creative, child-led environment is guided by the needs of the students in each class, with an emphasis on learning through having fun in the water. Imagine Swimming features highly developed teaching methods and rigorous training, however, it is the teachers, in the moment, who must pass on our mantra - safe, fun, for life.
