Swimstars
Essential Information

Swimstars group lessons are run by the club for 3.5-year-olds and beyond and last for 30 minutes on Monday afternoons and Saturday mornings. The Swimstars programme is managed by our swimming co-ordinator, who will assist you through the enquiry and registration process. Once on the Swimstars programme, children follow structured lesson plans and work through a set of levels starting as a tadpole and graduating as a shark. Please see below for the current block dates.

Private Child Or Adult
Swimming Lessons

Private swimming lessons for children and adults are offered by Sean, Roy, Tanita and Yasmine on a self-employed basis and they are able to provide 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 30-minute lessons. Unlike group lessons organised by the club, the instructors organise their own schedules during time slots made available to them on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
