Our swimming lessons follow the National Plan for Teaching Swimming, developed by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), ensuring a structured and high-quality learning experience. Lessons run continuously throughout the year, with short breaks at Christmas and Easter.
All academy members must wear a swim hat during lessons. Hats are available at reception for £2.50, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
Pre-School lessons are designed for children aged 3+ who are not yet in full-time education. Stages 1 and above are for children already in full-time education.
Our Junior Swimming Membership is £34.10 per month, payable by direct debit.
How to join
Spectators must remain in the roped spectator area that is accessed via the poolside corridor doors.
A spectator is anyone who is not dressed in swimming clothes and/or not booked to participate in an activity.
Your child can arrive ‘swim ready’ (swimming clothes already on and covered by outdoor clothes or a towel/robe) and enter with you on to poolside via the poolside doors where they can remove their shoes etc in preparation for their teacher being ready. It is not permitted to change into swim clothes on poolside.
Alternatively you may wait with your child at the changing room until their teacher is ready, then walk back through the changing rooms, along the lower corridor and enter the spectator viewing area via the poolside doors.
Your child can meet you in the spectator area at the end of their lesson where they can put on their towel/robe and outdoor shoes and either depart the centre or head along the lower corridor to the changing rooms to use the facilities there. It is not permitted to change out of swim clothes on poolside. Please do towel dry off before entering the corridor and footwear must be worn.
Alternatively, leave poolside a minute or so before the end of your child's lesson so that you can return to the changing via the lower corridor and be ready to receive your child at the changing rooms.
