Swimming Lessons
With watersports and outdoor activities exploding in popularity, it's more important than ever to be happy, confident and safe in and around water.
Why should you or your children learn to swim?
Swimming is fun for people of all ages and children especially love getting into the water and enjoying themselves.
But it is not just fun, swimming also provides health benefits that can help to keep your children healthy and happy at the same time. It's also a fantastic life-saving skill that will keep your child safe in the water.
Swimming keeps your child’s heart and lungs healthy, improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina, and improves balance and posture. Swimming is also a very accessible activity for children of all ages or abilities, including those with additional needs.
It's a skill for life...
More Benefits of Swimming

Learning to swim is a skill that once learned is rarely forgotten and it is open to people of all ages. There are even swimming events for people over 100, and a few Masters swimmers who are still swimming past this age.
