Adult Swimming Academy
We believe it is never too late to learn to swim, and our adult swimming has no upper age limit. Whether it is improving a specific stroke to use to build stamina and fitness, or learning water safety and some basic skills to feel more confident on holiday in the sea or pool, we aim to help you achieve your individual goals and learn to love the water too!
Beginners first focus on floatation skills, relaxing and learning how to move safely in the water. This then moves through to learning how swim unaided, tailored to each individual swimmer, and learning how to stop and start swimming safely. Lessons progress to add in safety skills such as treading water, along with gaining deep water confidence, and take time to focus on individual goals.. and then finally on to swimming lengths with improving technique.

Types of Class Available

GROUP
Group lessons are an excellent way to begin or improve swimming in a friendly and relaxed setting. Your Instructor will guide you through skills and and exercises to help you work towards your goals, and with small group numbers you will still receive guidance for your own personal goals and support where needed.
​
PRIVATE
Private Classes are booked for the half hour or full hour depending on the venue, and provide an excellent way to begin swimming, to improve technique quickly, or just to give a space and provide calm place for Beginners or those who are more nervous to get started.​
