SWIM DOCTOR

Swim Doctor is a swim programme tailored to developing the swimming abilities of adults of any age. 

Whether you are already comfortable in the water or just getting started, our Swim Doctor coaches are on hand to help you with your aquatic aims.

Our learn courses will teach you the fundamentals, so if you're just starting out or plan to build a stronger foundation this might be the session for you. Learning different ways to practice your strokes and buoyancy in the water will guide you to the next stage of the swim doctor programme, TRAIN.

Train is slightly more tailored towards those who are already comfortable in the water, ranging from those who simply want to swim lengths without getting breathless and even athletes training for events such as a triathlon. The aim is to improve fitness and efficiency in the water.
