My two boys have enjoyed the swimming lessons. Swim instructors are in the water with the children throughout the lesson. No shower facilities but it’s all about the swim lessons and my two have improved greatly.

Swimming lesson criteria

We take children from 4 years once they are able to:

Float with armbands without an adult supporting them in the water.

Mature enough to take part in a group lesson without a parent being beside them in the water.

This is a requirement otherwise they will become too upset :'( and nobody wants this to happen. Please forward us your contact number when your child is able for the above criteria and hopefully we will be able to get you started soon enough.
