About Us

Behind the Pearls...

Since 2008

The Aqua Pearls was formed in 2008 and is run and owned by Lynn Ilott.  Since it’s inception, the swim school has expanded beyond all expectations and now offers lessons for Babies, Toddlers, Pre-School & Juniors (all school-aged children). The team consists of an Owner/Manager/Instructor and a team of Level 2 Instructors and RLSS Lifeguards.

All instructors are of the highest calibre with a true passion to deliver their best tuition every lesson. They are dedicated, hard working and talented. 

More Than Swimming

Over the years, The Aqua Pearls has developed into a top-class swim school. Due to the trust and support from the parents, the school has more than flourished into a friendly community where the children excel and enjoy their lessons and the parents form lasting friendships. 

We take a long-term interest in the children’s mental and physical development. Many of our swimmers choose to enter into club swimming and find due to their technique and ability they are selected for the Isle of Man top squad team.  The Aqua Pearls high reputation has been established from past and present parents who continuously recommend us.

We strive for perfection

We not only want to teach swimming, but great swimming. We strive to surpass expectations when it comes to your child and their progress in the pool.

We Involve the Parents

We feel it’s important for parents to be involved in their child’s first paddles in the pool. As confidence is key for progress.

We Take It Stroke-by-stroke

We understand that swimming is just like taking your first steps and we treat it like that, working stroke-by-stroke for independent swimming.

We Keep It fun

Swimming is great exercise and an important life skill. However, we never want it to become a chore so we keep it fun and varied to ensure continual learning.

Our Aim.

We believe in your child & their ability to learn.

The Aqua Pearls swim school aims to provide a safe, secure and positive environment in which Babies, Toddlers Pre-School children & Junior swimmers can learn to swim, enjoy water based activities and develop their full aquatic potential.
