Everything you might want to know before your first lesson.

Lessons

Who they're for, how they work and what they cost.

Who are your lessons for?

Adults and children of any ability. Complete beginners, nervous swimmers, and confident swimmers who want to improve a stroke are all welcome.

What's the difference between 1:1 and 2:1?

A 1:1 lesson is one swimmer with one teacher. A 2:1 lesson is two swimmers sharing one teacher, so you can learn with a sibling, partner or friend.

I'm an adult who can't swim. Is that OK?

Absolutely. Lots of adults never had the chance to learn. Lessons are private, so there's no group watching, and we start from exactly where you are.

My child is nervous in the water. Can you help?

Yes. With a 1:1 lesson your child has their teacher's full attention, and we go at their pace to build confidence before anything else.

How young can children start?

Message us with your child's age and swimming experience, and we'll let you know which lesson suits them best.

How long is a lesson?

Lessons are 25 or 50 minutes, whichever suits you best.

How much do lessons cost?

1:1 lessons are £30 for 25 minutes or £60 for 50 minutes. 2:1 lessons are £20 per swimmer for 25 minutes or £40 per swimmer for 50 minutes. Prices are the same for children and adults. See all prices.
