Adult Swimming Lessons

It’s Never Too Late to Learn to Swim

Whether you have never swum before, lack confidence in the water, or want to improve your technique our adult swimming classes provide a friendly, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. Our qualified instructors understand that every adult swimmer has different experiences and goals. That is why we offer two dedicated classes designed to help you build confidence, improve your skills, and enjoy being in the water.

Adult Beginner Classes

Who is this class for?

  • Non-swimmers
  • Adults who feel nervous or lack confidence in the water
  • Those unable to swim 25 metres confidently.

What to expect

You'll learn in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere with others who are on a similar journey. There is no pressure and no judgement.
During these sessions you may work on:
  • Water confidence and safety
  • Breathing techniques
  • Floating and body position
  • Basic propulsion and movement through the water
  • Building up towards swimming a full length of the pool
Our instructors will help you progress at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
