About Us

The AVSC Competitive Swim Academy is primarily aimed at swimmers 6-12 years old interested in learning the skills of competitive swimming.

Swimmers in the Academy are expected to continue with their current swimming lessons in addition to the Academy sessions. The Academy manages the crossover between the ASA Learn to Swim Framework, Stages 1-7, the specialised Competitive Swimming Stages, 8, 9, 10, and the world of competitive training and competition at AVSC.

If you would like to discuss a trial for your child please contact us: [email protected]
For general enquiries about the Academy, contact us at: [email protected]

Academy  Squads​

​The AVSC Academy is divided into five squads.  Little London, London, Rio, Tokyo and Paris. Squad moves will usually take place three times a year but swimmers are continually assessed and invite sessions to higher squads can happen throughout the year.

  • Paris: Maz
