Who’s It for?
Small group and private lessons are perfect for children who require a little more focused time and attention in their swimming classes. Your child will be engaged during the whole lesson, working in ones or twos with their expert teacher to practice swimming skills, water safety and have fun!
Our small group lessons have only been available a short time and are extremely popular! But we have very limited availability, so don’t risk disappointment.
Register for your lesson now before all our spaces are booked up!

What we teach
The focus of children’s swimming lessons is to strengthen the basics of your child’s swimming ability, progressing them at their own pace. We work on developing their confidence in the water, as well as core muscles, before moving on to more advanced stroke techniques. We have added to the Swim England “stages” and our teachers follow structured lesson plans. As a reward for their hard work, students receive certificates and badges for moving onto the next stage and when they can swim certain distances. Once their technique is up to standard, they can move onto our Children’s Squad lessons.
2:1 and 1:1 lessons start from stage 1 upwards. This can include preschoolers.
