Learn The Basics

In our swimming lessons for beginners you start with water comfort, floating, and breathing. Then you add basic strokes in a controlled way, so it feels manageable.

Small groups icon

Small Groups

Lessons are in small groups (max 5), so you have space to practise and you're not lost in a big class. This also keeps the pace calm and focused.
