Junior Swimming Lessons at Edwardsville Pool

Swimming lessons are available to children of all abilities from the age of 5*, taught at a pace suitable for each individual child.

*There is a new "Little Ducklings" class now available at the Aberfan Pool for children aged 4-5 years to teach early water confidence.

Our experienced swimming teachers are trained to ASA standards and are dedicated to improving your child's swimming technique. As your child's swimming ability improves, he/she will progress to a different class with children of a similar ability to ensure that their improvement is maintained.

The Beginners Lessons teach the basics of swimming and improve water confidence. This is followed by the Improvers Class where children refine their swimming strokes and learn new swimming skills. Finally, once the children are confident swimmers, they are encouraged to join the Merthyr Swimming Club to continuously improve on their swimming ability and maybe one day become the next Olympic Champion!
