Swim Academy
The Swim Academy teaches children of ages 6 upwards to improve their basic swimming technique and confidence in a fun and friendly way.
Our lessons start at Stage 5 of the National Plan for Teaching Swimming. Once swimmers graduate from the Swim Academy, they can seamlessly progress to our swimming squads. Families can choose from swimming at the places and times given on the Training Times page.
