Baby and Toddler Classes

Our Baby and Toddler Classes introduce young children to water in a safe and supportive environment, fostering comfort, essential life skills, and a lifelong love of swimming. These programs typically cater to babies from a few months old up to 3-year-olds, focusing on water familiarisation, safe entries and exits, and building confidence.

Children's Swimming Lessons

Our Children's Swimming Lessons are structured programs designed to teach water safety, water confidence, and swimming skills, progressively building from basic water acclimation and floating to advanced stroke techniques. Lessons typically cover safe entry and exit, submersion, breath control, body positioning, kicking, arm actions for various strokes (like front crawl and back crawl), and eventually treading water and full stroke development.

Adult Swimming Lessons

Our Adult Swimming Lessons cater to all skill levels, from absolute beginners to advanced swimmers, focusing on building water confidence, developing essential aquatic skills like breath control and floating, and refining stroke technique and endurance.

These lessons are designed to be accessible and beneficial for overall well-being, promoting physical fitness, mental health, and water safety.

Additional Needs

Our swimming programs designed for individuals with additional needs, including those with intellectual, physical, or sensory disabilities, offer numerous benefits such as increased physical activity, improved muscle tone and strength, enhanced balance and coordination, and boosted self-confidence, while also teaching a crucial life-saving skill given the elevated drowning risk for individuals with certain disabilities.

The program takes place on 5:15pm on Thursdays.
