Learn to Swim
Our Learn to Swim lessons are designed to help individuals build their confidence and overcome any fears they may have, all while enjoying the process of learning to swim.
We welcome children from the age of 3 and offer 30-minute classes. Our program follows an eight-level teaching system that emphasises safety skills and stroke development.
Our main goal is to nurture swimmers who are comfortable and skilled in the water. To achieve this, we place children in small groups based on their abilities.
As children develop the necessary skills, we guide them through our levels and acknowledge their progress with certificates to encourage further improvement.
