Swim School
★ All Ages and Abilities!A life-saving skill, all year round
Our Learn to Swim Program helps swimmers move from assisted to independent swimming, with water safety at every stage.
Classes are tailored to each swimmer’s ability, and our indoor heated 25m pool means lessons continue whatever the season, so progress is never interrupted.
How the term works
We help children build confidence, skills and a love for the water. Commit to consistent lessons and your child will get the most out of their swimming journey.
Runs with the school term
Normally 10 weeks long. Each lesson is 30 minutes unless otherwise specified.
Class adjustments
In the first few weeks, instructors may move your child to a different level, class or time so they’re in the best group for their ability.
Week 10: water safety
Every term ends with water safety: staying safe in and around water, survival skills, and confidence in real-life scenarios.
