||| OVERVIEW

Our Strictly Swimming London coaches have a great history of working with many stunt performers in developing their swimming standard for the British Stunt Register Swimming Test.

All candidates who are looking to acquire their stunt qualification must be of a high swimming standard. There is a huge water element within the overall qualification and candidates are required to be of a strong swimming and lifesaving level.

​There are two parts to the test, one swimming without clothes and one swimming with clothes (see below) which we will practice throughout your lessons. Strictly Swimming London coaches will tailor each lesson to develop all four swimming strokes as well as build your confidence and endurance in the pool. All lessons will prepare your for the Stunt Qualification and pass the swimming test with ease.
