Everything you need to know about our swim lessons, schedules, facility, and what to expect at Timmy's Swimming.
All our regular weekly classes are held at GDM Pool on Quinam Road, Penal, Trinidad and Tobago. The facility provides clean, well-maintained pool water, marked lane lines, shallow learning zones for beginners, and space for parents and family to watch comfortably.
We operate Monday through Friday with four hourly sessions each afternoon/evening: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM, and 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM. On Saturdays, sessions run from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM, and 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Sundays are closed.
Absolutely! Many of our adult students started with zero swimming experience and genuine fear of deep water. Coach Timmy uses a gentle, patient, and respectful step-by-step method. You will never be forced into deep water before you are completely ready and confident in your breath control and floating.
We offer classes for toddlers and young children (where age-appropriate programs are offered, typically starting around age 3 to 4) through teenagers. We match each child with swimmers of similar age and skill level for a fun, encouraging social environment.
Please bring: 1) A comfortable swimsuit or swim trunks, 2) Swim goggles that fit snugly around the eyes, 3) A silicone or latex swim cap (especially for longer hair), 4) A dry towel and flip-flops, 5) A water bottle to stay hydrated. Kickboards and training aids are provided at the pool.
Yes, private 1-on-1 coaching is available for students seeking dedicated personalized instruction or rapid progress. Please contact Coach Timmy directly to discuss availability and scheduling.
We strictly limit the number of participants in each timeslot to ensure high safety standards and ample individual attention from the coach. Swimmers are never left unattended on the pool edge.
