Swim Academy

4 + years

Encouraging independence
Swimming independently

Children learn best when they are fully engaged and feel empowered in their learning which are fundamental to our Swim Academy programme.

We pride ourselves on focusing on the individual needs of the child. We understand that children do not all learn in the same way and our small class sizes allow us to tailor the activities, skills and games to suit each and every child in the lesson.

Suitable from 4+ years and based around the Swim England framework, our unique and progressive programme consists of five key stages that will inspire independence, grow confidence and develop key swimming skills with a focus on establishing the correct technique from the beginning.

Swim Academy (Duo)

Designed for those who thrive with more personalised guidance, Swim Academy (Duo) classes offers the same proven curriculum as our Swim Academy classes, with just two children per session.

This smaller format enables closer teaching while maintaining the encouragement and enjoyment of learning together.
