Types of swimming lessons we offer
Children’s Swimming Lessons
Led by friendly, qualified instructors, our swimming lessons for children follow Swim Wales’ Learn to Swim framework and will help your child become a strong, confident swimmer.
Infant Swimming Lessons
Our infant swimming lessons help babies aged 3 months and over get used to the water as early as possible, building confidence and developing the foundations for learning to swim.
Adult Swimming Lessons
We offer beginner adult lessons or stroke improvement sessions for the more advanced swimmer.
Intensive Swimming Lessons
We can provide more intensive swimming sessions mainly during school holidays to 'fast-track' your child's progress.
