What\u2019s important to know is this:<\/strong> learning to swim as an adult is not only possible it can be life-changing.<\/p>\n Coming from South Africa, my childhood and adult years were filled with endless ways to enjoy swimming – activities like surfing, wakeboarding and snorkeling (as well as just swimming!) The joy that comes from swimming is hard to explain and I\u2019m passionate about teaching adults how to swim so they can experience this too.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Kalam|700|||||||” text_font_size=”24px” text_line_height=”1.6em” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_color=”gcid-1a900f0b-d096-4e30-8a6c-4ec385859d14″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”30px|15px|10px|15px|false|true” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-1a900f0b-d096-4e30-8a6c-4ec385859d14%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n Click the question to jump to our answer!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”why” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Swimming is healing, relaxing and fun! It’s good for you physically, mentally, and emotionally. And it isn’t just me who thinks that swimming is great! There is an abundance of research that proves the multiple and vast benefits of regular swimming.<\/p>\n For example, research from the Value of Swimming report<\/a> commissioned by Swim England<\/a> reported that:<\/p>\n 1.4 million adults say that swimming has significantly improved their depression and anxiety symptoms. In addition, swimming helped prevent 78,500 cases of ill health in a single year including dementia, diabetes and strokes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If you’re convinced by the data but still have questions, read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”late” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Never! The oldest person I have taught to swim was a lovely lady who was 87 years old. Throughout her life she had never been taught how to swim. Her husband, a keen swimmer, loved all things water and ensured their children learned how to swim too. This left Mum sitting on the beach or by the poolside, watching them have fun for many years. On her 87th birthday she decided that she was going to learn how to swim before she died and so our journey began.<\/p>\n It was an amazing time because I taught her how to swim a confident, solid front crawl (freestyle) and backstroke in just two weeks! This lady was a natural swimmer!<\/p>\n How this made her feel, you can imagine. She was so proud to be swimming at last, but also regretful that she had waited so long. I’m sure her advice would now to be grab the chance and learn while you can!<\/p>\n Not every swimmer’s journey will be as smooth or easy or fast. But, it doesn’t make it any less worthy!

At Cindy’s we aim to give our swimmers the best swimming experience possible. We have created an easy to follow teaching programme, taught by passionate, caring teachers whose goal is to help their students become happy and confident swimmers.

Online resources can\u2019t see what you\u2019re doing, keep you safe, or step in if you feel anxious or overwhelmed.<\/p>\n A good swimming teacher offers calm reassurance, real-time feedback and support that\u2019s tailored to you. They help you build confidence, avoid bad habits, and progress at a pace that feels comfortable, which is why most adults find lessons the quickest and most enjoyable way to learn.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”overweight” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Don’t worry about being too big, water is wonderfully buoyant. Water supports bodies of all shapes and sizes. In fact, many larger adults find floating easier than they expect.<\/p>\n The largest person I ever taught was 6 foot 4 and weighed 120 kg and was absolutely terrified of water! He had never walked into a swimming pool before and felt unstable on his feet. He instinctively grabbed me and threw himself around me like a teddy bear. Thanks to the buoyancy of water, I managed to hold him and show him that he was perfectly safe. From that first lesson, we built a strong, solid foundation of understanding how water works and how his body fitted in that space. Within a few months he could happily swim a few basic strokes.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”easy” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This is a hard question to answer; learning is individual and where you come from, your understanding of water and if you have had anything like a near drowning experience, will affect how you learn to swim.<\/p>\n What I can say is, swimming itself isn’t overly complicated. The basic foundations of swimming are essential to being able to swim properly and to being able to enjoy it. Once you have learnt those as a swimmer, the rest is much easier.<\/p>\n If you have had negative experiences around water, then please do share that with your teacher. You will be helping them to support you, so that you can feel more safe and confident.<\/p>\n Aside from how difficult or easy learning to swim may be for you, you should be prepared to invest in several weeks of lessons at least. Some people take weeks to learn to swim, other people take months before they reach the competency they want to achieve.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cindysswimschool.co.uk\/staging2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Adult-swimming-lesson-all-you-need-to-know-1080-x-540-px.png” alt=”Adult swimming lesson – overcoming fear of swimming” title_text=”Adult swimming lesson – overcoming fear of swimming” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_id=”long” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How long it takes to learn to swim as an adult varies from person to person. It depends on factors such as your confidence in the water, any previous experiences (positive or negative), how often you attend lessons, and what your personal goals are.<\/p>\n In general, most adults should be prepared to commit to at least several weeks of lessons. Some people feel comfortable floating, breathing and swimming short distances within a few weeks, while others take a few months to build the level of confidence and technique they\u2019re aiming for. Both are completely normal.<\/p>\n Learning to swim isn\u2019t a race. Progress often comes in small but meaningful steps, feeling calmer in the water, learning to breathe comfortably, or trusting your body to float. With regular practice, patience and supportive instruction, those steps gradually come together to form confident, relaxed swimming.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”equipment” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What you need for swimming lessons may vary depending on the swim school you go to, but these are what we think are essential:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”780px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Zoggs Predator Goggles” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”Z||divi||400″ icon_placement=”left” module_class=”product-title” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Kalam||||||||” header_font_size=”27px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_css_free_form=”.product-title h3 {text-transform:none!important;}” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cindysswimschool.co.uk\/staging2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Adult-goggles.png” alt=”Zoggs Predator Goggles for adults lesson page” title_text=”Zoggs Predator Goggles for adults lesson page” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”||||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||5px|||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”27px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]For our adult swimmers, we recommend Zoggs Predator goggles.
