S4 Swimming Lessons

A learn to swim children's swimming programme designed to give your child the highest level of swimming tuition in a professional, relaxed and friendly environment. Swimming Lessons are 30 minutes and suitable for children aged approximately 3 years+.

Our term-time swimming lessons have a maximum of just 7 swimmers per class, with some venues operating even smaller class sizes to suit the size and layout of the pool.

At non-swimmer and beginner levels (Octopus/Goldfish), groups typically benefit from 2-3 members of the teaching team, providing an effective support ratio of approximately 2-4 swimmers per team member and a high level of individual attention. At venues with smaller class sizes, team support is adjusted to reflect the size of the group.

Our swimming teachers are supported by poolside helpers where needed, while sessions are also overseen by a dedicated Swim Coordinator who monitors swimmer development and progression, helping to ensure each swimmer's individual needs are recognised.
