group swimming lessons

During the school term time we run lessons for children who want to improve their swimming skills in groups of similar age and standard.

Under 5s and pre school

We have very popular lessons for the under 5's. There are the ‘Splash Happy’ groups for 2-3 year olds whose parents join them in the water, ‘Little Ones’ for the under 5's without their parents and ‘Speedy Fish’ for children under 5 who can swim a short distance unaided on their front and back.

Pre school children can participate in Adult and Baby/Toddler classes. These run during leisure swim morning sessions and provides a quiet environment for young ones to gain confidence in the pool.

So bring your little ones along and have fun with floats and toys in the warm water of the learner pool.

School age

For children who are at school we run classes during the week and Saturday mornings catering for various ages and abilities. For the younger and less advanced children we have a maximum of four children to one teacher, meaning that the child gets more time with the teacher. For children able to swim 10m or more the classes hold a maximum of 6. These classes work towards achieving awards set out by the National teaching plan.

Our pre-club lessons are 45 minutes and take up to 8 children. This class works on technique and stamina and is designed for those who are thinking about joining our Great Whites Swimming Club.
