Swimming Lessons
Building Confidence, Step by Step
Once your little one is tall enough to stand safely in our warm, shallow teaching pool (usually around 3 years old), they’re ready to join our much-loved Toddler “Under 5’s” classes.
Our enclosed and private pool creates a calm learning environment, while still making it easy for parents to drop off and collect their children at the poolside. During lessons, you can relax in reception and watch your child’s progress on our live big screen.

Supportive Teaching in the Water
Every class is led by specifically trained, experienced teachers who are always in the water with the children. They’ll gently introduce newcomers and encourage each child to grow in confidence, while beginning those all-important first steps towards independent swimming.
Motivation Through Achievement
With the help of certificates and colourful magnetic badges, children are motivated to celebrate each stage of their progress. Step by step, they build their skills and confidence, all while having fun with friends in small, friendly classes.
Children remain in our toddler programme until they reach school age, when they’ll smoothly move into our after-school lesson times.
