Swimming
Learn-to-swim and stroke classes in supervised pools, grouped by ability, from water confidence to all four strokes.
About the activity
What it covers
Swimming is a life skill first and a sport second. Classes run at pools near you, with a swimming coach in the water or on the side and a lifeguard on duty. Non-swimmers start with water confidence, floating and breathing; improvers learn front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly with correct technique; confident swimmers build stamina, turns and starts. Groups are kept small and matched by ability, and girls-only sessions are arranged where the venue offers them.
What students gain
- Water safety and confidence for life
- Correct technique in all four strokes
- Stamina, lung capacity and full-body fitness
- A route into competitive swimming for those who want it

Quality and safety
What our team does for every programme
These are the checks and the care we commit to, programme by programme.
- Every coach and every venue is checked by our team before a programme opens.
- Small groups, with each programme's group size shown before you ask for a place.
- Safeguarding first: students are supervised throughout every session, and parents know who the coach is before the first one.
- Parents follow each place in the portal: its status, its schedule and the attendance.
- A trial session where the programme offers one.
- Clear fees: you see the fee before you ask, and you pay only once your place is confirmed.
- Attendance taken at every session; online sessions on a private link that only confirmed students see.
