How long does it take a child to learn to swim?

Every child is different. With consistent weekly lessons, most kids move steadily from one level to the next. Your coach tracks your child's skills and lets you know when they're ready to move up.

Which level should my child join?

Book a free trial and our coach will check your child's skills and recommend the right class. As a rough guide: new or nervous swimmers aged 5–8 start in learn-to-swim, kids who swim freestyle and backstroke join stroke development, and kids who swim all four strokes can try swim team.

How many kids are in each class?

No more than 4 swimmers per coach in our kids' group lessons.

What if my child misses a lesson?

Mark the absence in the app at least 5 minutes before class and you'll get a make-up token, valid for one year, to book another lesson.

Do you have evening and weekend lessons?

Yes. Lessons run Monday to Friday 2pm–9pm, Saturday 9am–8pm and Sunday 9am–6:30pm at all three pools.
