Baby and parent swimming lessons

Wondering when to start your baby’s swimming journey? Our baby and children’s swimming lessons are available from as early as 3 months through to 5 years of age. Our programme, SWIMBiES, is designed to help little ones build water confidence from the very beginning, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of swimming.

Parents, grandparents and guardians are encouraged to join their little ones in the water, sharing those special first experiences together. Our baby and infant classes are led by experienced, qualified swim teachers who will support and guide you both every step of the way in a safe and nurturing environment.

Those aged 4 plus can move up to our foundation classes

Foundation Swim Lessons

Our foundation swimming lessons are designed for children aged 4 years and over who are beginners or completely new to the water. The programme focuses on developing core swimming skills, with a strong emphasis on water safety and confidence in and around the pool.

Foundation classes are structured across three progressive levels, allowing swimmers to build skills step by step. Each level is designed to develop water confidence, introduce and refine essential swimming techniques, and support overall stroke development.

By the end of foundation, your child will be able to swim 10 metres independently. They will also have gained a basic understanding of all four swimming strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Once foundation has been completed, they will then move up to development.

Development Swim Lessons

Development classes are the next step up from foundation lessons, designed for children who already have a solid base of swimming skills and can swim 15 metres unaided. As with our foundation programme, these classes cater to a range of abilities, helping each child feel confident and comfortable as they progress. Sessions focus on refining technique across all four strokes, alongside introducing aquatic sports and key water survival and rescue skills.

The skills developed in these classes contribute towards achieving Bronze, Silver and Gold milestone awards. Reaching each stage not only provides a great sense of achievement, but also helps children become more confident, capable, and independent swimmers. Once Gold has been completed, swimmers can progress to our academy lessons.

Academy Swim Lessons

As the highest level within our children’s swimming programme, Academy classes are designed to further develop your child’s skills, build stamina, and introduce essential lifesaving techniques, including the RLSS Rookie Lifeguarding programme. Our aim is to support children in becoming strong, confident, and safe swimmers.

These sessions focus on improving fitness and encouraging teamwork, while introducing more advanced water safety skills in a fun and supportive group environment. Swimmers will work towards the RLSS Rookie Lifeguard programme, helping them build confidence and gain valuable lifesaving knowledge.

The skills developed in these classes also contribute towards achieving long distance swim goals of up to one mile, as well as earning Academy and Rookie Lifeguarding awards.

To book academy, the swimmer must be able to continuously swim 100 meters plus.

SEND Inclusive Swimming Lessons

Inclusive sessions are carefully designed and adapted for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), ensuring that every individual is fully supported and able to access learning in a positive, encouraging, and accessible environment. These sessions prioritise participation, understanding, and engagement, so that all learners have equal opportunities to develop their skills and achieve their potential.

9+ Foundation Swimming Lessons

We provide beginner classes designed specifically for older children aged 9 and above, alongside structured foundation lessons tailored for teenagers. These sessions are carefully planned to support learners at different stages of development, helping them build confidence, develop core skills, and progress at a comfortable and appropriate pace.
