Little Pearls Swim School is a boutique-style private swim school with a focus on social, emotional, physical and mental development, located in Smithfield. Passionate about childhood development, they are dedicated to teaching children to be lifelong swimmers.

The directors bring more than 20 years teaching experience in both the swimming industry and the education department. They understand that there is more to swimming than just swimming; it promotes an active lifestyle early on in life, builds endurance, improves coordination, develops confidence and boosts social skills. This focus in development of all areas of life is evident throughout the swimming sessions.

Through swimming, young children will develop mobility functions and this supports the mind to body connection. Children lacking in confidence can feel empowered by overcoming a fear of the water and can build social skills by communicating with fellow classmates. Not only does swimming aid childhood development, it also opens many doors to competing in water-based sports and participating in fun activities.
