Learn to Swim

Our Learn to Swim programme offers classes for children of every age, irrespective of their ability, and is aligned with Scottish Swimming’s National Framework, with six primary levels to work through.

The programme criteria can equip a child who has never been in the water before with the early stages of Core Aquatic skills before improving the quality of stroke technique, developing multi- aquatic skills and basic life support.

Our lessons

Lessons are offered at all six of our swimming pools. The programme runs for 50 weeks of the year with children taking part in one 30-minute lesson per week. Your 12 monthly payments covers 48 weekly swimming lessons, there is a two week break at Christmas.

In the event of more than two classes being cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances we shall endeavour to provide an alternative lesson where this is possible.

Lessons are available on various days and times, starting just after school Monday to Saturday , making it easy to juggle the after-school diaries. The cost is £25.00 per month, paid by Direct Debit.
