Children's Swimming Lessons

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 programme offers:
- A fun, friendly and safe learning environment

- 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)
