Still have questions?
How many children are in a class?
There will be a maximum of 12 children to 1 teacher, per 30 minute class.
What do I need to bring with me?
Children need to bring swimming attire and a towel (leggings and a t-shirt are not permitted.) Swimming hats and goggles are also recommended.
Can my child attend every holiday?
Children can only attend one course to ensure all eligible children in Wandsworth have this opportunity. If you miss a day within your booked week, we are unable to offer a make-up lesson.
What if my child wishes to continue learning to swim following the end of the course?
