Will the teacher be in the water?

Yes, the teacher is in the water. This allows us to provide support, demonstrations and guidance throughout the lesson.

How long will it take me to learn to swim?

How long it takes to learn to swim varies from person to person, as everyone learns at a different pace and has different goals.

Progress can depend on previous experience, confidence in the water, attendance, and practice outside of lessons.

Some swimmers feel ready to progress after one course, while others choose to repeat it to build confidence and technique. We usually recommend starting with a four-week course and then discussing next steps with your instructor.

Who are your classes suitable for?

Our classes are designed for adult swimmers and cater to both beginners and intermediate-level swimmers.

Are all your sessions women's-only?

No. We offer both women-only and men-only classes. Sessions are not mixed.

What is the class size?

Does the pool have shower and toilet facilities?

Yes. The venue has both shower and toilet facilities available for swimmers to use.

Is there a deep end in the pool?

Yes. Our pool has a deep end, and we help swimmers gradually build the skills and confidence needed to navigate deeper water safely.
