Our Story

Inspired by experience…
Striving for excellence
Angela’s Swim School was created by former Team GB swimming champion Angela Wilson, who competed in the European, World and Commonwealth Games and was selected for Team GB at the age of 15. She had a deep love of swimming from a very young age, and it was always her dream to share this passion with younger generations. Realising there were still a great number of children who were not learning this essential life skill, she began teaching between competitions, and opened her first school in 1992.

While Angela’s goal has always been to teach her students to be confident and safe swimmers, her vision goes much deeper. She understands that poor public pool access, limited timetables of quality lessons and uneven class provision according to location are all barriers to children become strong swimmers. She made it her mission to create a business that delivers a consistently high standard across territories to help children reach their full potential, both in the water, and in their lives.

Since 2002, Angela and her team have been on an extraordinary journey to resolve these problems and create a sustainable and profitable business focused around simplifying and standardising learning to swim.

Setting a new standard

Angela’s professional experience and entrepreneurial spirit soon led to the creation of the ground-breaking Swimstylers programme, which was the culmination of all her team’s years of work into transforming the industry.

Since its inception, the Swimstylers’ colourful characters and its engaging and accessible methodology have raised the bar for what children and parents can, and should, expect from swimming classes and has now firmly placed Angela’s Swim School as a true market leader.

Angela and her team decided to open up the business for franchising in 2014 and now operate in 27 UK locations.
