Learning to swim, from the very first splash

These 30-minute lessons introduce young children to the water in a gentle, play-based environment. With both parents and a swim instructor in the pool to guide children and build their water confidence, floating, kicking and submersion at a pace your child is comfortable with.

Several sessions are available on Saturday & Sunday mornings.

These are 45-minute lessons across structured levels, beginning at Splash & Play through to Level 6, with further progressive sessions available for those who are interested. Swim instructors are in the pool with small groups of children until Level 2, when they stay poolside to teach. At the end of each term, assessments are conducted, and parents can view their child’s progress online in their CoursePro accounts.

Please note that progression through levels is ability-based; every child will reach each level’s criteria at their own pace. Swim instructors are happy to discuss your child at the end of each term. Our criteria for each level are available to view online. Our swim terms run from September to July, in line with school holidays.

Swim levels:

• Splash & Play
• Level 1 – Level 6
• Stroke Clinic
• Junior Lifeguard

Private lessons are built around each individual, we book these directly rather than online. Call or email our Sports Academy team and we’ll find a slot that works for you.

We offer private swim lessons with a swim instructor for both children aged 3+ and adults. These are 30-minute lessons, when the pool is quieter, so they may suit nervous or timid swimmers. The focus for private lessons is varied, such as an introduction to swimming, faster progression, and focused individual improvement. Our instructors work with you directly; lessons are available Tuesday – Sunday.
