AGE: from 5 years old
ABILITY: Beginner to Advanced
Our school age Learn to Swim classes are a six level programme. From beginner one where we focus on confidence, submersion, floating and bubbles, to advanced breather level where we focus on fitness and refining technique. In these classes, there will always be a level to suit your child’s ability, no matter what stage they are at. We also work on water safety throughout all six levels.

We love celebrating the milestones your children achieve throughout their journey with our swim family, for the big and small achievements. Some of the ways we celebrate are:
- Level graduation certificates.
- Swimmer of the month.
- And of course, lots of smiles and high fives
- Appropriate swimwear must be worn by all swimmers. (We do not recommend large rash shirts or baggy shorts as this restricts movement and can hinder swim progression)
- Infants and young children must wear a reusable swim nappy or close-fitting swim pants to prevent accidents occurring in the pool. NO disposable nappies are to be worn in the pool. We recommend “Zoggs – Swimsure or Adjustable Swim Nappy” We have size samples available to try on at the pool.
- All children in preschool and school aged classes (not toddlers) require goggles and a cap which can be fitted for your child.
- For your convenience we have a selection of quality Zoggs goggles and swim caps available at reception for purchase.
