Learn to Swim

Find the right session for you


Swimming is one of the most effective ways to exercise your body and improve your fitness. Our pool is 20 meters long, heated to a very pleasant 30 degrees by our energy efficient biomass boiler.

We offer leisure swims, length sessions, family swims, we also have a great Swim School and also offer adult lessons and a range of water based fitness classes.

Baby and Pre School

Baby & preschool swimming lessons introduce young children to the water in a safe and nurturing environment. These classes typically cater to infants and toddlers up to 4 years old, and are taught by our experienced and certified instructors who specialise in teaching young children how to swim. The classes focus on building water confidence, developing essential water safety skills and promoting early swimming skills through games and activities. Parents are usually required to be in the water with their children, creating a supportive and enjoyable family experience. 

Swim School

The benefits of swimming for children are well-documented, it is a good idea to ensure your child is comfortable and confident in the water from an early age. ​Our group lessons run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We follow the STA International Learn to Swim Programme (ILSP) with all lessons being taught by our very own qualified coaches. You can purchase certificates and badges at each stage of your child progress. We believe that it’s never too late to learn to swim so we also offer adult swimming lessons. ​In addition to group lessons. Please call us on 01840 213188 for more information.
