Summer Crash Courses
With the Summer Holidays fast approaching, there is plenty to look forward to across our venues, with fantastic activities available for all ages.
As part of our summer programme, Swim Academy is delighted to offer our popular Crash Courses, designed to help swimmers build confidence, develop key skills, and make accelerated progress in the water.
These intensive courses provide focused instruction in a fun and supportive environment, making them ideal for swimmers looking to improve their technique, gain confidence, or work towards their next stage.
Do not forget that Swim Academy members can take advantage of an exclusive discount on all Crash Courses, making it the perfect opportunity to get even more value from your swimming journey.
Spaces are limited and filling up quickly, so be sure to secure your place today to avoid disappointment.
Last minute bookings can be made by phone or directly at the venue on 02382 000299.
At Swim Academy, we believe that swimming is a skill for life, and it is never too late to start.
Our Adult Swim Academy offers lessons for all abilities, from complete beginners who are looking to gain confidence in the water to more experienced swimmers wanting to improve their technique, fitness, and endurance.
Our friendly and supportive classes provide a welcoming environment where you can learn at your own pace, achieve personal goals, and build confidence in the water. Whether you are looking to overcome a fear of swimming, learn a valuable life skill, train for fitness, or simply enjoy being in the pool, we have a class that's right for you.
As well as developing your swimming skills, our adult lessons are a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded people, make new friends, and become part of a supportive swimming community.
Why not take the plunge and give it a try? We look forward to welcoming you to the pool.

Throughout the week, our teachers will be assessing swimmers against the criteria for their current stage, recognising the progress, commitment, and determination they have shown in their lessons. Whether it is earning a first certificate, achieving a badge they have been working towards, or progressing to the next stage, every achievement is worth celebrating.
We know both our swimmers and teachers are looking forward to seeing the fantastic progress that has been made, and we can not wait to recognise the hard work taking place across all of our pools.
We would like to wish all of our swimmers the very best of luck. Remember to listen carefully, try your best, and most importantly, enjoy your lessons. We are incredibly proud of every swimmer and look forward to celebrating your achievements during Award Week!
