Kids love Swimble. With fun, visual interactive games and characters, and a personal learning path and dedicated remote swim teacher for each child.
First we find out everything we need to know about your child, then our smart tech creates a customised set of lessons to follow, with everything step by step and fun to do.
Swimble was designed by swim teachers: we want every child, everywhere, to be able to learn to swim.
Just a fraction of the price of group swimming lessons, Swimble’s monthly subscription is just AED 79. For that, you get allocated your very own Swimble Teacher to answer any questions and cheer you on, and a totally customised set of lessons to teach your child to swim on your own schedule. You save money and time, plus kids love using Swimble app.
We all know that swimming is a life-long, and life-saving skill. But it’s not always taught in schools, and committing to after school classes can be tough. Plus, these days, parents are wary of putting their child into group classes – and even at the best of times, group lessons won’t give your child that one-on-one focus (or those amazing experiences that you can create by teaching your child yourself). Swimble lessons are custom created for you and your child, can be done any time, and come with the advice and support of our friendly Swimble Teachers!
Yes! We’ve created a programme called Swimble For You, which is just for adults who want to learn to swim. Swimble Teachers are experienced in teaching every age group and level of experience, we understand what it takes to help you learn to swim, and we love to help adults achieve their swimming goals with step by step lessons and friendly support.
It really is. Learning to swim is a lifetime skill that opens up a world of fun for your child. So of course an app that teaches kids to swim has got to be fun too. Every custom swim lesson is designed to be enjoyable for you and your child, and in the Swimble Parent Portal we show you the benefits for learning these skills, aside from the fun.
Yes! Swimble is designed by swimming teachers, who had to look differently at their subject during the pandemic - how can we keep our students learning, even without the pools?
We came up with sets of skills that can be practiced at home as well as in the pool, both for beginners and more advanced kids. With Swimble, our awesome tech and superfun design gets kids excited to learn, and they retain these skills and use them later in the pool. It really works.
Right now, we’re focusing on the kids who need us the most: beginners, those with a fear of the water, and kids with additional needs. Soon, we’ll expand to baby swimming and to more experienced swimmers too. We’re always excited to hear from parents with questions or feedback, so don’t hesitate to get in touch – everything we learn from you will help others using Swimble.
We customise every Swimble interaction, because every child is different. In the same way, children progress at different rates, with learning how to swim as with every other activity. So we can’t put a number on this; but because of Swimble’s high level of individual customisation, you'll see faster progress than any other swim app out there. And of course, your child's progress is monitored and rewards given - plus, our teachers are always happy to help if you feel you're getting stuck.
There is no programme or product that can ever guarantee safety in the pool. The best way to ensure your child’s water safety is to teach them to swim, and to constantly supervise them in the water.
When you use the Swimble programme to teach your kids to swim, you still have the responsibility of keeping them safe. Our lesson plans are all founded in water safety, with every skill having as its basis the need to make sure kids understand how to stay safe in the water, and our experienced and qualified Swimble Teachers are there to guide you on making your swim lessons as comfortable and secure as is possible.
No – in fact, we created Swimble with non-swimming parents in mind, because kids with non-swimming parents are far less likely to be able to swim themselves. Our Swimble Parent Portal helps you see the whys and hows of swimming, so you'll be learning along with your child.
A swimming teacher and partner in a successful swim school, over the years, Swimble founder Susan Proctor heard from thousands of parents on the challenges they face when getting their kids into swim classes. “Learning how to swim requires commitment from parents. And while parents are happy to do what they can to get their kids safe and happy in the water, it’s really a struggle to commit to that weekly class. Things come up; other activities, work demands, life in general,” she remembers. “Parents need more flexibility than swimming lessons, by their very nature, can offer.”
So Susan started to look for solutions to the problem – how can we make life easier for parents struggling to fit this vital part of a child’s education into their hectic schedules? That’s the issue for parents. What’s at stake on a wider scale is the safety of children: half the kids around the world don’t have the skills to keep them safe in the water.
Speaking with parents, it hit Susan that all these swim lesson issues would disappear, if she could translate everything she knew makes a successful swim lesson into a format accessible to every child. Susan’s lessons worked because they were step by step, visual, personal, and fun – couldn’t that all be achieved with an amazing app? Susan decided to test this theory out, and created a beta programme, providing kids with customised video lessons that took into account their specific experience and needs, and giving them the encouragement and engagement that made her IRL so popular. “And it worked!” says Susan.
Now, with pools re-opened, Susan is taking the DIY swim lesson movement forward, signing up hundreds of new Swimble clients across the UAE. She puts some of the demand down to concerns about the continuted spread of COVID-19. “Parents are nervous now about their kids coming into contact with others in group classes, and are looking for alternatives to that.”
So what is it that makes Swimble work? “The key ingredient, the one that had the most effect,” says Susan, “is making sure the lessons we provide are customised to their child’s needs, and presented in easy-to-follow, bitesized activities. The feedback has been amazing, parents are feeling that they’ve saved time and money and they’re seeing results from it too, and best of all, the kids really enjoying it.”
We all know that every child is different. There’s even more uniformity when it comes to teaching them how to swim. And if a swimming teacher tries to give you a one-size-fits-all lesson, something’s wrong – it doesn’t work that way, and it doesn’t respect your child’s individuality. Swimble is designed to take into account every child’s experience, personality, attitude, likes and dislikes, as well as the pool environment.
Plus, we get to know you – are you a swimmer? Do you have any fear? Hate getting your face wet? All the information we gather is then reviewed by your allocated qualified, experienced Swimble Teacher, and you get your completely customised lesson plans. Ask us anything you want, then go start making amazing memories with your child in the pool.
