Booster Swimming Lessons

 Swim School 714x335

From Sunday 7th July - Sunday 28th July we will be offering Booster group lessons. If you are currently on the programme and you/your child would like to attend extra swimming lessons to boost your progress or you are on our waiting lists and are looking to join the programme these are a great way to start or boost your learn to swim journey.

These lessons are available as a pay as you go option (PAYG) so you can pick and choose the dates that you would like to attend. All spaces will be sold on a first come first served basis and you can book as many dates as you would like.

Customers on our waiting lists that attend the booster lessons will receive priority for a permanent place on the main programme once our current customers have rebooked.

We will also be offering additional 121/Private Bubble PAYG lessons, please click here for more information.

Specialised stages

Due to the difference in Learn to swim programmes and the content of what is covered at other swim schools, we are finding that Breaststroke is not at the same level of progress as other strokes. With this in mind, we have created Breaststroke clinics to help bridge the gap and avoid swimmers becoming stuck in stages.

Breaststroke Clinic Shallow water - is for swimmers in Stage 1 - Stage 3 who need extra practice on their Breaststroke.

Breaststroke Clinic Deep water - is for swimmers who have completed everything in Stage 3 except for Breaststroke up to Stage 6.

Your instructors have been asked to speak to parents and recommend the Breaststroke Clinics to swimmers that are struggling with these stages however if you are interested in extra lessons for your child please feel free to ask your instructors advice.
