The LC follows the Swim Wales Llearn to Swim Scheme. Within this, we offer Bubbles framework for ages 0-3 years old, Splash framework for ages 3-5 years old and also Wave's framework for ages 4+.

Our Bubbles and Splash lessons require an adult in the water to provide support to the baby/child every week.

Due to direct debit lessons will only pause for Christmas holidays and resume in the New Year, meaning you'll have access to lessons 50 weeks of the year providing continuous progression in lessons.

We have a brand new home portal for parents to log in and view their child's progress.This is great for letting you know the areas in which they are doing well at and other areas that need improvement. The Home Portal will let you know when your child has achieved all their outcomes and is ready to move class. If you don’t have access to the portal, visit our reception team who will be able to view your child’s account and see what badges and certificates they have achieved.

All of our learn to swim memberships are paid via direct debit to make it easier for you.

Everyone enrolled in our swim school has swimming included for free across our Swansea centres in lane swimming, public swimming, Aquatots and Fun and Float sessions in Morriston, Penlan and Penyrheol centres. You also get free swimming at the LC Swansea during Aquatots, General Splash and during the last two hours of all full feature sessions.

Please ensure your child uses the facilities before the lessons starts to avoid this happening! Should it be urgent, we require parents/guardians to be on hand in the viewing gallery to support their child as instructors are not able accompany your child during the lesson. Children aged 8+ may use toilets unattended.

Our aim is to provide the same instructor week in week out to ensure you and your child are provided with an opportunity to build rapport and see progress. From time to time we do have the need to provide alternative instructors but rest assured they are all well trained competent individuals who will pick up the learning priorities left from the previous week.

At around six weeks old, babies can be introduced to water for the purpose of having fun and getting used to being in and around it. As children reach the age of four, they can begin to learn the basics of swimming, and by five years old, they typically have mastered the front crawl stroke. However, it's important to keep in mind that every child is different and may progress at their own pace when it comes to learning to swim.

You can find more useful information about learning to swim in our Freedom Leisure Swim School Parent Guide.
