Progress your swimming skills!
We make learning fun in a safe and comfortable environment where children are placed with others their own age at the same ability level. We know that connecting with other learners is so important for progression and teachers will tailor each lesson to the needs of the child.
Children are assessed regularly each term and parents can keep track within our customer portal so you always know which skills your child has accomplished and when they are ready for the next step!
