Kids swimming lessons

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.

Baby and toddler swimming lessons

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.
