Lessons are delivered by specialist instructors in the school’s 25-metre pool, taking place at time between 8.30 am and 10.45 am, each day. They are suitable for children aged five years and above.
Each lesson lasts for 30 minutes. Class sizes are kept between six to ten pupils per teacher to ensure plenty of individual tuition for each swimmer. Class sizes may vary in the higher ability groups.
Teachers will accompany non-swimmers and beginners in the water and aim to provide an environment which is fun, friendly, and enjoyable. Parents are welcome to watch their children from our spectator area which overlooks the pool.
Our courses are open to all the community.
