About Us

Swim Wild Cornwall, based in Penryn, Falmouth & Carnon Downs, offers weekly group lessons, Private lessons and intensive courses for all ages and abilities.

In Autumn 2020 Swim Wild Cornwall set up its pool swim school called the Swim Wild Academy. We recognise that every future open water swimmer must first learn the basics in the swimming pool therefore we offer small group children’s swimming lessons at Pendennis Lodge in Falmouth, Penryn Primary Academy & The Emerald in Carnon Downs.

During our pool swimming lessons we put a strong emphasis on water safety at all times, delivering regular water safety skill sessions for all stages.

Being confident and having some basic water safety skills and knowledge opens up a whole world of possibilities… yes that’s right, it’s not just about being able to swim in the swimming pool. Having these skills and becoming a confident swimmer enables you to try paddle boarding, surfing, diving and much more, before long every body of water will be your playground.

"Charlotte is an amazing swimming teacher. She's very patient, good humoured and really helped me with my breast stroke technique. As someone who isn't a very confident swimmer, I really appreciated having sessions with Charlotte as she helped me to focus on my breathing, timings and made me feel more at home in the water. I'd highly recommend Charlotte for anyone looking to take up sea swimming; whether you're a beginner like me or looking for some more advanced sessions."

I had an open water swimming lesson with Swim Wild Cornwall and it substantially helped me improve my front crawl. Charlotte my instructor was really communicative and the exercises she suggested made me focus on my stroke and breathing. She also had some really useful tips which I have been implementing into my swimming when on my own. My 12 year old niece also had a lesson with her at a different time to help her improve her breast stroke and confidence in the water. She was brilliant and really enjoyed the session, it gave her the confidence to tackle much longer swims and to be comfortable with open water swimming. The location that Swim Wild Cornwall choose for the lesson was really picturesque and sheltered. I would highly recommend a lesson!

Charlotte is an incredible teacher. She has helped me enhance my front crawl technique and confidence in sea swimming. Thanks to Charlotte I can now enjoy sea swimming much more and can go for longer swims covering more distance. I would thoroughly recommend Swim Wild Cornwall. Thanks again Charlotte.

Superb coach, superb skills, a good laugh too. I can’t rate Swim Wild Cornwall highly enough. I love my sessions and am learning so much. A very professional and very patient coach.

Charlotte is giving our Son one to one swimming lessons currently. Her approach is fantastic - kind, patient and professional. Would recommend without hesitation.

Great open water swimming lessons. Charlotte helped me to improve my frontcrawl technique enabling me to cover longer distances.

Charlotte has given my 8 year old son confidence and skills in the sea which are invaluable! She has a warm, friendly nature and is super encouraging. I highly recommend Charlotte as swimming teacher.
