It seems hard to believe but on this day, Ten years ago, namely Saturday 7th May 2005, Rusalka Swim School opened it's doors for the very first time! Since then, we have had the privilege of teaching so many local children, babies (and adults) to learn to swim with us and it really has been such a pleasure.

We have won awards, added a second fantastic teaching pool, made many new and long term friends and most important of all, if we have perhaps helped save the life of just one child, then everything we set out to do has already been achieved.

Hey Everyone!

Be sure to book your space on our next fully 'In- House' Underwater Photoshoot taking place on Sunday 24th May!

Forms will shortly be available in both of our pools. Alternatively, please call us or use the specific selection from the 'Enquire Today' menu that can be found at the bottom of each page of our website.

Your child does not have to swim at Rusalka to be able to attend our Underwater Photography sessions, but they do have to be experienced at swimming or being placed underwater.

If you're at all concerned or if you would simply like to talk it over, before deciding, then just give us a call and we'll be delighted to speak with you.

Well, you obviously know about it 'cos you're here and reading this and so, what do you think ?

It was only when we stopped and thought about it that we realised just how long are old one had been doing such a good job for us but was certainly now looking somewhat dated and didn't have all of the modern 'tecky' bits that websites today should have either and so we knew it was time for a change. 

We think that Matt - The Designer has done a truly wonderful job for us and we hope you do too ?  It should certainly be a lot more user friendly for you to use from now on and to view on tablets and mobiles also !   AND both Yulia and Graham have been dragged into the 21st Century too by joining Rusalka to Facebook !

As mentioned above, we finally gave in and listened to those around us and Yes, we are now on Facebook and so please 'Like Us' and 'Follow Us'.

To help this along we will be doing silly things like holding little competitions, with prizes,  from time to time etc. and trying our best to make social media work not just for us but , for the benefit of all of our Mums, Dads, Nans, Grandads, Aunts, Uncles, Nanny's, Au Pairs and Children too !

So Stay in Touch.
