First Strokes Swim Schools are the UK leaders in providing the total swimming experience. From our purpose built facilities and expert water-based tuition to our innovative award systems, our swimming pools provide the perfect conditions to learn to swim in a fun, informative and enjoyable way.

All of our 3S instructors come with a wealth of diverse knowledge to make your swimming experience the best experience you could ever receive. We also have good strong leadership in working with special needs and swim therapy sessions. We pride ourselves in giving each individual customer the best information and opportunities to progress and achieve.

We are based in the grounds of West Leigh School in Leigh on Sea, Essex with a large indoor air heated swimming pool. The swimming pool is managed by a fully qualified swim instructor and has a team of 9 qualified staff to teach all aspects of our water based activities.

Knowing that residents of Rayleigh were crying out for their own pool, Tracy Ward decided to convert a disused farm building at Lubards Farm, Rayleigh, into an unique purpose built indoor swimming centre of excellence. Swimming Tales opened its doors in March 2005, offering a unique facility, which is friendly, welcoming and very clean, with top class swimming teachers.
