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.

New Starters
New starters can book and join class waiting lists through the Home Portal. You will be contacted via email once a space becomes available, at which point booking and payment can be completed online.
- 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 they will start in Stage 1. Additionally, we offer a beginner's class for children aged over 7
- 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 instructors will use iPads poolside to record each child’s attendance and stage progression. This information will be available for parents to view online through the HomePortal. Once your child is enrolled in a class, you will receive an email with details on how to sign up.
