Junior Swimming Lessons

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

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 lessons need to be pre-booked and are on a first come first served basis due to popular demand. Lessons are booked in blocks of 10 of a 30 minute duration and the cost is £23.00 - payable at the time of booking. There is even a free inflatable session on the 11th week - we make learning to swim lots of fun!

We are booking now for the next block of lessons. 

There are limited spaces remaining

so don't delay - book today!
