Adult Swimming Classes
We provide adult swimming lessons for people of all abilities by our dedicated team of Instructors.
It’s never too late to begin learning to swim, and lots of our learners find that their new swimming skills are a fantastic way of helping them to enjoy the water with their children and grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.
We understand that adults have so many commitments in life and cannot always commit to terms of lessons which is why we offer adults lessons and advanced classes on a pay-as-you-go system.
We have two categories for adults to participant in;
learn to swim and advanced coaching.
Generally, a person should be 17 or over to participate in our adult classes.
Learn to swim:
A beginner’s group, an improvers group and a deep end (advanced) group. Each group has its own instructor. We like to keep the groups separate so that everyone gets plenty of attention and can make optimum progress. All the teachers are well-trained and experienced in working with adults.
You can use the ‘Book a Public Session’ button on the HOME page to book you space in our weekly classes. Bookings are essential to maintain quality in a P.A.Y.G System and also to ensure class numbers don’t go over our guidelines. Please book in by the level of your standard – beginner, improver or deep ender (advanced) and then select from our ‘Ladies only’ lesson or our ‘mixed adult’ class.
Booking in advance is necessary as these classes are extremely popular and so that we can accurately prepare for our classes in advance.
Advanced Coaching:
We also run advanced coached sessions for good experienced adult swimmers. In these classes adults have the opportunity to swim full lengths with an instructor available for advice on perfecting techniques, etc. This class is popular with people who are training for triathlons or those who like to get fit by swimming.
