We recognise that not all children will be at the same level when it comes to swimming. That’s why we have children’s swimming classes for all ability levels and ages.

SWIMBIES
Dippers - 3 to 12 months
Dippers baby swimming sessions give you time to bond with your child while we teach you and your child water basics. Entry at three months to cruising (approx. 12-18 months)
Splashers - 12 months to 2 years
Following on from Dippers, Splashers infant swimming sessions are a great way to grow your child's water confidence with you right beside them. Entry after completing Dippers or children walking (approx. 12-18 months) to 2 years.
Paddlers - 2 to 4 years
Moving on from Splashers, Paddlers sessions build on the fundamentals and prepare them for swimming independently. These infant swim lessons are designed for those who have completed Splashers or for children aged 2-4 years old.
Junior Lessons
Pre-School - 3 to 5 years
Our Pre-School swimming lessons focus on developing your child’s confidence in the water and introducing them to the key skills they’ll need to swim on their own safely. Lessons are available with and without parents in the water.
Foundation - Aged 4+
Our Foundation swimming lessons are designed for school-aged kids who are beginners or completely new to swimming. These lessons will teach them how to be safe in and around water.
Development - Aged 5+
Development classes are a level above Foundation lessons and are for children who already have a good basis of swimming skills and who are able to swim 15m unaided. Like our Foundation classes, these cover various ability levels, ensuring each child feels comfortable.
