Children's Swimming Lessons
Our children's swimming lessons follow the ASA National Learn to Swim programme ensuring they deliver the very highest standard of teaching and following an up-to-date syllabus with clearly defined progression levels. Children are encouraged to develop their skills and progress in stages whilst receiving continual assessment from their teacher. The lessons are structured into ability groups starting with Adult and Child and right through to Pre-Competition and Lifesaving.
August 2023 Update
2023-2024 price increase will take effect from October
After completing our annual price review, we have took the difficult decision to increase the cost of each swimming lesson. We have tried to keep our prices extremely competitive and in the academic year 2022-2023 we took the decision to not increase prices. However, operational costs have increased dramatically over the past 12 months which has led to this slight increase to continue to provide the same level of service.
The cost of each lesson will now be charged at £5.95 per session. We have also introduced a block of 5 credits to help spread the cost of payments. Credits purchased prior to October will be charged at the current lesson fee.

New Starters
All new starters must first join our waiting list by clicking the button at the top of this page. You will be contacted by email once a space is available.
- Children who are over 4 and can already swim will need to be assessed to ensure they are joining the most suitable group for their ability. We can then look to book them into a regular class once they have finished their assessment.
- If your child is 4 years old or a complete beginner, they will start in Stage 1.
- If your child is under 4 (minimum age - 18 months), we offer adult & child lessons which require a parent or guardian to accompany the child in the water.
HomePortal
Our swimming teachers will be using iPads on poolside to record each child’s attendance and stage progression. This information will then be available to view by parents online through the HomePortal. Once your child is enrolled in a class, you will receive an email containing details on how to sign up.
