Adult Swimming Lessons

Our adult lessons are designed to suit all levels of ability so there is no need to worry about getting back into the water after a number of years or even getting into the water for the first time. Our fully qualified and friendly instructors will have you enjoying swimming and improving your technique in no time. Take a look below at our lesson levels: 

Beginners

The beginners lessons are suitable for complete beginners who are petrified of water, or swimmers who are nervous and looking to improve confidence or learn other strokes. Work will be carried on widths in shallow water until individuals are confident enough to try deeper water and length work. Adult beginners are taught on a reasonably individual basis according to their level of swimmer making these classes suitable to all beginners whatever your current level.

Improvers

The improvers lessons are suitable for swimmers who are able to swim 50m (2 lengths of our pool) continuously using a good stroke technique. The teaching will be based on introducing new strokes, improving technique and stamina. The work will normally be carried out on lengths.

Improvers / Advanced

This is a split class normally with 2 lanes for each standard. The improvers lanes are as indicated above with all work being carried out on lengths. The advanced lanes work on stamina and swimming technique for all 4 strokes with training programmes being set for each lesson to achieve this. The advanced lessons are suitable for 200m swimmers up to very competent swimmers (even competitive level swimmers).

I don't know which level to choose…

If you are unsure of your level of swimming attend the session you think best describes your ability and then the instructor will assess you and advise you accordingly.

The information above is a guide only and depending on the swimmers attending each session the standards of each group can vary. The work for each class is therefore adapted accordingly.

Payment

All our Adult Swimming Lessons are run on a pay-as-you go basis with no advanced payment required so are therefore suitable for everyone, even shift workers; however to achieve maximum benefit swimmers are encouraged to attend as regularly as possible to build on skillspracticed each week. You are welcome vary the sessions you attend each week to fit in with your other commitments.
