30 Minute Lessons
National Standards
We use the Swim England Stages, with a keen emphasis early on having fun and helping your child to be able to save their own life, without parents in the water:
​
PreSchool Age 3-4
Non-Swimmer Age 4+ (book first if your child is this age with little swimming experience)
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
We aim to improve your child's confidence quickly and progress your child to the next class as soon as they achieve the required competency. We provide feedback on their progress via your parent portal so you can see how they're getting on and areas they could improve, all while being fun and enjoyable.​
Term Time Lessons
Monthly Flexibile Payment Terms
Lessons cost £16.50 per lesson, which will be taken automatically on the 1st of each month for the number of lessons running in that month.
​
We are parents too! We know work, childcare arrangements and children's hobbies can change. We'll do our best to move you to a more suitable class, but you can cancel at any time giving us four weeks notice. We take payment of your last four weeks lessons (£66) when you sign up, so once you cancel you will not be charged anything else and can attend the remaining four lessons. We think this is more fair and affordable than paying ahead for a whole term!
​
This includes all award badges and certificates.


Class Full or Unavailable?
Join our waiting list
We are a popular swim school and many of our classes are constantly full. You'll see class availability on our online booking page and a link to join the waiting list if the class you want to sign up to is full. Please note, priority is given to swimmers already in our programme, so it may be worth joining a less convenient class time and let us know which class you would prefer so we can move you when a space becomes available.
If you can only make one specific class, please join the waiting list and you'll be notified when a space becomes available. You don't have to pay anything to join the waiting list.​
