2) CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL - WHICH LEVEL SHOULD I BOOK?
You can choose a lesson by ability level or, if your child is already working through the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme, by Stage.
BEGINNER – Stage 1
For children who are new to the water.
We focus on building water confidence, learning to float and kick, putting their face in the water and beginning to swim independently in a fun and supportive environment.
FOUNDATION – Stages 1–2
For children who are starting to move through the water independently.
Children use floats and noodles while learning to coordinate their arms and legs and begin taking their first strokes without support.
INTERMEDIATE – Stages 2–3
For children who can travel short distances independently on their front and back.
Lessons focus on developing stroke technique, breathing skills and stamina across a range of strokes.
IMPROVERS – Stages 3–6
For confident swimmers who can swim lengths.
Lessons focus on improving stroke technique, breathing rhythm, efficiency and stamina.
ADVANCED – Stages 6–10
For strong, experienced swimmers.
Lessons focus on refining technique across all strokes, developing stamina and introducing more advanced swimming skills, including starts and turns.
Not sure which level to choose?
Please contact us and tell us your child's age and current swimming ability and we'll be happy to advise you.
3) BOOK & PAY FOR YOUR INITIAL COURSE
Once you've found a suitable lesson, simply book and pay online.
If you join part-way through a course, you will only pay the pro-rata amount for the remaining lessons.
Don't worry about joining mid-course – you won't miss out.
Our lessons work on a rolling basis, so swimmers can join at any time and then continue through our auto-enrolment scheme.
4) SET UP YOUR DIRECT DEBIT IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR PLACE - JOIN OUR AUTO-ENROLMENT SCHEME
Once you've booked your initial course, you can secure your regular lesson place by setting up a Direct Debit:
https://pay.gocardless.com/BRT0002APZRXZWF
Your place will then automatically continue after your initial course finishes, so there's no need to keep rebooking and no worry about losing your regular space.
Auto-enrolment benefits include:
• A slightly lower lesson price than booking individual courses
• Your regular swimming lesson place secured for you
• One FREE Family Swim every month for the auto-enrolled swimmer plus one additional adult or child
• Two certificates included each year – one at the end of the Summer term and one at the end of the Autumn term
• One six-week medical hold per year with a valid medical certificate or letter, allowing time away for significant medical reasons such as broken bones or surgery without losing your regular place
It's an easy, hassle-free way to keep swimming with us!
🏊 WHY ARE OUR SWIMMING LESSONS SO SUCCESSFUL?
We've developed and adapted our lessons over many years to create what we believe is one of the best possible environments for children to learn, progress and, most importantly, enjoy swimming.
💦 Teachers in the water
Our teachers teach from in the water, allowing them to demonstrate skills clearly, provide hands-on support when needed and give children plenty of encouragement and reassurance.
👩🏫 Exceptionally small ratios
Small groups mean more swimming, less waiting around and much more individual attention.
Beginner & Foundation:
🏊 Maximum 4 children
👩🏫 1 teacher + 1 assistant
➡️ That's one member of staff for every two children!
Intermediate & Improver:
🏊 Maximum 4 children
👩🏫 1 teacher
Parent & Baby/Toddler:
🏊 Maximum 4 children in our 20-minute sessions
🏊 Maximum 6 children in our 30-minute sessions
👩🏫 1 teacher
Compare this with some swimming lessons where there may be 8–12 children with one teacher teaching from poolside.
Smaller groups give our teachers much more opportunity to work on each swimmer's individual skills and technique.
🌡️ Lovely warm 32–34°C water
No shivering through lessons!
Our warm pool helps children feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing them to concentrate on learning and enjoying the water.
⏱️ Focused 20-minute lessons
Our lessons are deliberately kept short and focused.
Twenty minutes provides plenty of purposeful swimming and teaching while helping younger swimmers maintain their concentration, enthusiasm and energy throughout the lesson.
📺 Parents can watch without distracting their swimmer
Parents and carers can enjoy watching lessons on a choice of two screens, while children remain focused on their teacher rather than looking towards Mum, Dad or carers at poolside.
⭐ More swimming • More attention • More confidence
Everything from our pool temperature and lesson length to our staffing levels and teaching methods has been designed around helping children feel safe, enjoy swimming and make great progress.
🏊 GROUP LESSONS OR 121?
Our small group lessons give children lots of individual attention while still allowing them to benefit from watching and learning alongside other swimmers.
For many children, group lessons are therefore a great choice.
However, 121 lessons can sometimes be the better option, particularly for SEND children, nervous swimmers or children who require more individual support.
👶 PARENT & BABY/TODDLER LESSONS
A fun, relaxed introduction to the water for little ones and their grown-ups.
Our warm-water sessions use songs and gentle activities to:
• Build water confidence
• Develop early swimming skills
• Introduce important water-safety skills
• Help children feel happy and secure in the pool
They're also a lovely opportunity to enjoy special one-to-one time together.
