At Ballysillan Leisure Centre, we understand the significance of swimming lessons as an essential life skill and form of exercise. Our centre offers affordable and comprehensive children's swimming classes for all age groups and skill levels.
Foundation (ages 4+)
Our school-aged beginner swimming lessons teach water safety and survival skills in three levels: Red, Amber, and Green. After completion, your child will be able to swim independently for 10 meters and have a basic understanding of all four swimming strokes.
Development (ages 5+)
Our Development classes are for children who can swim 15 meters unaided and focus on refining technique across all four strokes, introducing aquatic sports, and teaching essential water survival and rescue skills. These classes also contribute to achieving Bronze, Silver, and Gold milestone awards.
Academy
Our Academy classes are the last level of our children's swimming lessons, aimed at empowering them to achieve personal goals and become confident, self-directed swimmers. These classes emphasize advanced safety techniques, such as setting personal targets, junior lifesaving, and personal survival skills, which will help your child thrive.
Adult swim lessons
Swimming is amazing for your body and mind, it's easy on your joints, builds your fitness, and makes you feel great in the water.
Whether you're a total beginner or want to improve your stroke, our group swimming lessons at Ballysillan are the perfect choice.
