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 and Stage 1 lessons
- Programme focussed on Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD)
- High-quality lessons that are stroke technique focused
- Equipment provided throughout

In September the Learn to swim programme will be returning to its original timetable for operating. As a result your times will be changing back to Pre-covid times, please see the table below.
If the circumstances change in September and social distancing measures are required again, your lesson will automatically go back to the current social distancing time.
We plan to return to 30 minute lessons from September dependant on the Covid-19 situation, this will be confirmed in September 2021.

Trainee swimming lessons - for current and new customers!
The University of Nottingham has recently signed a partnership agreement with the Institute of Swimming to be able to host courses for Swimming Teachers and we are excited to be part of this opportunity!
For the Swim Teachers' courses to run we require swimmers to take part in the training and we would like to offer customers the opportunity to participate. These trainee swimming lessons are a great way to boost your child's progress with additional lessons.
They will operate on a pay as you go basis and there is no limit to how many sessions you can book! This gives customers the flexibility to attend the weeks they want and at £2 for a 25 minute lesson they are great value for money!
To book please contact our Front of House team.
