Frequently Asked Questions

  • We offer parent and baby lessons, group lessons, private 1:1 and 1:2 lessons, for children up to adults. Everything is tailored to help the pupil move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • We welcome babies from as young as 3 months old. Before starting, a parent or guardian should ensure that their midwife or doctor is happy for the baby to be introduced to a public swimming pool.

  • There is a maximum of 4 children in a class from pre-school up to intermediate swimmers. Mini-squad lessons can have up to 5 pupils in a lane.

  • For your first lesson, please bring the basics of a costume and goggles. As your child progresses, your teacher will advise you on additional equipment you might need. Long hair should be tied back, and at squad level, hats should be worn to reduce drag.

  • We don’t offer trial lessons, as this helps us keep class sizes small and maintain high-quality teaching. However, you’re very welcome to come and watch a lesson —just get in touch and we’ll arrange a suitable time.

  • Lessons are booked and paid for in full on a term-by-term basis to ensure consistency and progression. If you require any support with payment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss this with us.

  • We offer a range of sessions, so pricing can vary. Contact us with a few details about what you’re looking for, and we’ll recommend the best option along with full pricing.

  • If your child is unwell and can’t attend a lesson we would be grateful if you could send us a message to let us know. If your child has an injury or illness, which will mean missing more than two weeks of the course, then we will do our best to offer catch up lessons. A refund or a reduction on a subsequent course cannot be offered.
