Children's Swimming Lessons

Our Swim School programme has supported thousands of young people to learn to swim from our extensive swimming facilities at David Ross Sports Village. 

Our Children's lessons are for swimmers aged from 4.5 years to 14 years-old from Beginners' level to Stage 9. Our expert instructors will support our young swimmers to learn the basics through to becoming a trained competitive swimmer. 

Our fun, structured sessions focus on improving your child's technique in the water and enabling them to become happy, confident swimmers. 

Our programme offers:

• A fun, friendly and safe learning environment 
• Small class sizes
• Qualified Level 2 instructors for every class
• Additional Level 1 instructors to support all Beginner, Foundation and Stage 1 lessons
• Programme based on Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD)
