About Us

Where Swimming Is More Than Just A Fun Activity: It’s A Vital Life Skill.

Our Mission

At Swim4Life, our mission is to equip every child with essential water safety skills that teach them how to swim confidently and safely. Along the way, we hope they also develop a lifelong love for the water! We aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where every child – and adult – can swim well and be safe in the water for the rest of their life.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where every child has the skills and confidence to enjoy the water safely, reducing drowning incidents, and building healthier, happier communities. We are committed to teaching a skill for life, while also supporting green initiatives that protect our environment for future generations.

Where Confidence, Safety,
And Fun Make A Splash!

We’re proud to have created a safe and supportive environment where children of all ages and abilities can thrive. With small class sizes, highly experienced instructors, and a focus on building both skills and confidence, Swim4Life is dedicated to making every child’s swimming journey a positive and enjoyable experience.

Our mascot, the turtle, symbolises our approach to learning: slow and steady wins the race! We understand that every child learns at their own pace, and we’re here to guide them every step of the way. Whether it’s their first splash or they’re ready to master new techniques, we’re excited to be a part of their journey to becoming confident swimmers.

What We Believe In:

Safety first

From our well-maintained, heated pools to our carefully structured lessons, we ensure a safe environment at every step.

Fun & learning

Learning should be fun! We combine play with learning to make swimming a positive experience for every child.

Sustainability

We’re committed to creating a greener future by using eco-friendly practices like our chlorine-free mineral water pools, which are naturally sanitised and gentle on both the environment and the kids.
At Swim4Life, we’re passionate about teaching a skill that lasts a lifetime, reducing the risk of drowning, and empowering every child to feel at ease in the water. Whether you’re looking for a beginner class or advanced lessons for your little one (or yourself!), Swim4Life is the perfect place to grow, learn, and dive into a world of possibilities.

Our ‘Water Safety First’ Approach

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. From the very first lesson, we teach essential water safety skills that last a lifetime, helping kids feel secure and confident in the water.

Furthermore, our bespoke pool design focuses on gradual step entry instead of platform learning, reducing the risk of full submersion. This way, kids can ease into the water at their own pace – not all swim school pools are purpose built like ours.

Our Commitment To You

We promise to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment where every child can build confidence in themselves, learn a skill for life, and develop a lasting love for the water.

We love Shapland swim school. Our kids (8 & 5.5yrs) have been attending at Williams Landing for 5 years & both are now confident swimmers. We love the small class sizes, the online booking system for managing lessons and the fantastic teachers & management team.

Daksh is great teacher. My kids have been going to williams landing shapland swim centre since before covid. The management is great and they put both my kids (who are 20 months apart) in same class on my request. This saves me lot of time as a mother. Daksh ensures both my kids gets individual attention though they are in the same class.

We are with Shapland for our daughters swimming lessons since 2019. Everyone has been so lovely and accommodating. The instructors are very skillful in teaching and developing my kids’ swimming skills. The management staff are very flexible with our requests in doing makeups and renewing them in circumstances of family emergencies. Couldn’t recommend Shapland enough.

Shapland Swim School in Williams Landing is a fantastic swim school. My youngest started when she was 3 and wouldn't stay in the swimming pool and wanted to go home. Her swim teacher Daksh was fantastic with his patience and building a positive relationship with her and her confidence in the pool grew. Now I can't get her out of the swimming pool and she loves coming to her swimming lessons every week

The pool itself is nice and quiet, only the handful of kids in their short lessons so no overwhelming busy pools to overstimulate the little ones. Very good with nervous kids! Initially my toddler would not go within the pool area without crying. Alex especially put so much time and effort in with my daughter making her feel comfortable both in and out of the water. Little one is now excited every time swimming gets brought up and is much more confident with new faces in the water

I love this family friendly swimming school. From the day my three year old started swimming here, the owners and instructors have ensured our experience has been the best in the area. I wouldn't look anywhere else for a swim school. Plus, my daughter's confidence in the pool and her skills have improved significantly since we started. I love this place.
