Learn to Swim as an Adult

Never learned to swim? Want to build your confidence in water? Our adult lessons welcome complete beginners.

You get your first 10 weeks of lessons for free. After that, continue for £29 a month.

.What you’ll learn

  • Your first 10 weeks are free. You’ll learn in small groups with qualified instructors.
  • We start with water confidence. You’ll learn:
  • how to float and glide
  • basic front crawl
  • how to control your breathing
  • how to stay safe in water

All our coaches are DBS-checked, first-aid trained, and qualified by the relevant governing bodies. We follow strict safeguarding procedures and maintain high hygiene standards across all our facilities.

After 10 weeks

When you’re ready, you can:

  • Stay in beginner classes – keep practicing what you’ve learned
  • Move to improver classes – develop your technique and stamina
  • You decide what’s right for you. There’s no pressure to move up.
