Swimming lessons

Nurture a love of water with your baby from the very beginning in a positive, fun environment. Parents or carers attend with their babies and join them in the water providing reassurance and confidence.

Aimed at children who are old enough to follow instructions and can move on their own. Children learn to float, rollover, blow bubbles, swim, enter and exit the pool safely.

Our swimming lesson programme for school aged children 4 years + follows Swim England’s Learn to Swim Framework Stages 1 – 7. It’s all about developing confidence and competence through fun and enjoyment. *4 year olds must be in full time education to attend these lessons. If your child is not in full time education please do not select these classes.

Our Adult Beginner course will guide you through your first experiences in the water. You’ll work on basic swimming skills and techniques, gaining confidence whilst moving in water.

This course is all about gaining the confidence to enter the pool safely. You will learn how to move around the pool with confidence and to achieve basic core aquatic skills.  Ideal for people with a fear of the water or those nervous about taking their first steps.

Designed for students who choose to learn in one-to-one or a small group ratio. Dedicated instruction allows students to perfect skills, boost confidence and move at the student’s own pace in a relaxed environment.

Designed to cover several weeks of normal term time lessons in a shortened timeframe, our intensive courses can help students to get a taster for lessons if they are beginners, boost confidence, or move past any hurdles by practicing skills.

Take part in drills and sets to develop stamina and distance, learn how to complete turns for each competitive stroke. Children must have completed Stage 7 or equivalent of our learn to swim programme and be confident in deep water to attend these sessions.  Please enquire for details.
