Swimming lessons for adults and kids near you

Learning to swim is a great way to boost your confidence in the water, so that you can enjoy it as a means of exercise. Or you may want to get ready for a holiday by the sea. Or perhaps you’re in training for something. Whatever the reason, David Lloyd Clubs has got you covered as we offer a swim school for everyone aged 3 months and above. Adults can also take advantage of 1-2-1 swim coaching and our competitive Swim Team programme is available to children and young people aged 8-16.

Our Swim Stars lessons for kids are divided into stages and designed to suit your child’s ability, so you should see them progress through the different levels. They’ll move from basic skills, buoyancy and balance as well as the more complex styles: backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. If your child is interested in competing, they can also join Swim Team where they'll be able to take part in time trials, galas and water polo.

Introduce your little one to the water from as young as 3 months old. A parent or guardian accompanies their baby in the pool as they play fun games to help get them used to being in the water, as well as developing leg and arm manoeuvres. Classes are grouped by age - 3-18 months and 19 months to 4 years.

Our swim coaches

Our friendly, experienced and patient instructors are fully qualified to provide swimming lessons for children and babies of all ages so you can feel totally reassured that they are in safe hands. Their classes match the Swim England 'Learn to Swim' course, which means meeting high standards.

Each coach will have a variety of fun activities to help build your child's skills. And classes remain small to allow kids to receive the individual attention they need from the instructor, so you needn’t worry about your child being left behind.
