Water Creations Swim Academy was founded by people who genuinely love swimming and teaching it well.
WCSA was founded six years ago by Cory Abrahams, a former swimmer at Cheshunt Swim Club, who has always felt at home in the water and wanted to help children feel the same confidence.
Â
Cory has over 9 years of experience as a qualified lifeguard and swim teacher. Alongside completing his university education and working as a primary school teacher, he has been a key figure in the Hertfordshire swimming community and beyond.
Â
Over the past 6 years, WCSA has supported hundreds of children as they learn to swim, with many families staying with the programme from their very first lesson.

The key elements that make every lesson safe, effective, and enjoyable.
Welcoming environment A calm, encouraging space where children feel comfortable from the moment they step in. We focus on confidence first, then progress naturally follows.
Exceptional team Our instructors are patient, attentive and genuinely invested in every childâs journey in the water.
Building a love for water We want children to feel happy, confident and connected to the water, not just learn how to swim in it.
Creating a safe space children and parents want to be From the pool deck to the classroom atmosphere, we prioritise safety, trust and a positive experience for every family.
Highly qualified teachers We pay attention to each childâs personality, comfort level and pace so they feel seen, supported and encouraged.
Every child is treated as an individual, and we take the time to know them by name. With a maximum of 5â8 swimmers per class (depending on level), every child receives focused, individual attention.
We aim for consistent progress. Swimming development takes time. We focus on steady improvement, building skills carefully and confidently at every stage.
Our journey begins at home. Weâve proudly trained 24 swimming teachers across the UK, ensuring the highest standards of safety and engagement for our local communities.
Beyond the UK, WCSA proudly supports 40 teachers in Uganda through Angel Swim London, helping expand access to water safety education and contributing to 2000+ children being taught water safety internationally.
Through its charity initiative in the Philippines, WCSA helps provide children with greater access to swim education and life-saving water safety skills, supporting safer communities through international outreach.

A very patient and caring teacher (Luke) for a nervous little girl who by the end absolutely loved it. Best choice Iâve made in a long time highly recommendedPosted on Google Natasha KainthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with Water Creations since 2024 and we've had a really positive experience. Cory has set up a great swim school with small class sizes, which makes a huge difference. It's clear that he really cares and is dedicated to good teaching. The classes are fun and engaging, and the admin is managed really well, with regular communication and a simple direct debit system. Would definitely recommend them!Posted on Google Kayleigh JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
