About Our Lessons

Find out how our lessons work, what to expect and how to choose a suitable class for your swimmer.

Which lessons do you offer?

We offer baby, toddler and preschool lessons, children’s swimming lessons across Stages 1–7, and adult beginner and advanced classes. 
We also offer Aqua Natal pregnancy classes, Aqua Fit, private tuition, sibling lessons and specialist SEND tuition.
Our lessons support swimmers at different starting points, from first splashes to developing confidence and refining technique.

How long are lessons?

Baby, toddler, preschool, children’s and adult swimming lessons last 30 minutes. Our specialist SEND lessons also last 30 minutes, while Aqua Natal and Aqua Fit sessions last 45 minutes.
You can check the duration of your chosen class in the booking timetable before booking.

How many swimmers are in each class?

Class sizes vary depending on the lesson:
Baby and toddler lessons: up to 6 children.
Preschool lessons: up to 4 children.
Children’s swimming lessons: between 3 and 5 swimmers, depending on the class.
Adult swimming lessons: up to 3 swimmers.
Private and specialist SEND tuition: one swimmer with one instructor. We also offer shared private lessons for siblings.
For Aqua Natal and Aqua Fit group sizes, please contact us.

How do I choose the right class or stage?

For babies, toddlers and preschoolers, start with the age ranges shown in our class descriptions. For children’s staged lessons, swimming confidence and current skills help determine the most suitable starting point.
Our free taster booking page explains who each class suits and what to expect. A taster lesson gives our instructors an opportunity to meet your swimmer and advise on the right class.
If you’re unsure, contact us with your swimmer’s age, confidence and previous swimming experience - we’ll be happy to help.

How do booking and payment work?

You can book lessons through our online timetable and manage bookings, payments and your credit balance through the members portal or app.
Choose Pay As You Go to purchase credits when you need them, or a monthly membership for regular swimming. Each lesson’s credit cost is shown in the booking details.
Your first taster lesson is free. For subsequent bookings, cancelling at least 24 hours before the lesson returns the credits to your account so you can book another session.

What should I bring?

Bring swimwear, a towel and goggles if you use them. You’re welcome to bring a swimming cap if you’d like, and toiletries for the shower.
For baby and toddler lessons, bring suitable swim nappies where needed, along with swimwear and a towel for the parent or carer joining them in the water.
Please clearly label your belongings so we can return anything left behind.
