Swimming Lessons

Our children's swimming lessons loosely follow the Swim England ‘learn to swim' programme, where there are progressive stages within it's structure with specific skills and criteria to achieve before moving to the next stage. Once the swimmers complete their awards they are invited to progress into the Development Pathway.

We offer small class sizes for our swimming lessons, the programme is delivered by high quality swimming teachers and are supported by our top-level swimmers who volunteer their time to guide our younger swimmers. 

We run our classes every Wednesday Evening 17:00 - 18:00 at Deben Lesiure Centre in Woodbridge.
