Junior Learn to Swim Lessons

Our Junior Learn to Swim programme runs continuously for 50 weeks, with a two week break for Christmas.

Lessons offer swimming skills and confidence for children aged 4+.

They also provide excellent opportunities for your child to progress to competitive swimming through clubs and other aquatic disciplines such as Diving, Water Polo, Lifeguarding, Canoeing, Sub Aqua and even Triathlon. 

To supplement our Junior Learn to Swim Program, we offer 1-1 swimming lessons and school holiday crash course swimming lessons. For more information, please contact your local leisure centre directly.

Our online system allows you to check availability for swimming lessons (baby, junior and adult), diving sessions and school holiday crash courses.
