Asking questions is good! Below are some which have already been answered, we hope this helps!
Children can join our Baby & Toddler sessions from birth. These require a parent in the water with them.
From the age of three, children join our Seahorses.
Those aged above four years can join our Stage 1 class and progress from there. We also offer both Private and Group Lessons for adults so there is something for everyone.
We are based at The Duke of York's Military School. All of our lessons are run from their swimming pool.
Watch our video for a walk through of how to find the pool once you are on campus.
Once children are three and swimming in our Seahorses or Stage 1 Group Lesson you are able to watch from poolside.
Our teachers will provide hands on support and use floatation aids from within the water.
Yes, we need an adult to stay for the duration of your child's lesson. We have benches around poolside so you can watch the lesson from a few metres away.
Poolside is quite narrow so please don't bring buggies if you can avoid it.
Our Group and Private Lessons are 30 minutes long. Adult group lessons are 45 minutes long.
If you are in Private Lessons you may notice we have two different prices which reflect the creditation the instructor holds. Our Level 2 instructors are fully qualified individuals who hold more experiance delivering a range of classes and lessons. Our Level 1 Instructors are qualified individuals who are building up their experiance and have been awarded the opotunity to grow into taking on their own Private Lessons.
Learn MoreIf you are in Private Lessons please let your teacher know as soon as possible, ideally when they are arranging the weekly lesson with you. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice then there will be a charge.
For Group Lessons you are booking a place in the class so missed lessons will still count as one of your block. You don't need to notify us unless your absence is going to be an extended period, in which case get in touch and we will get something sorted.
For Group Lessons, you will pay a joining fee and your first payment will be made by subscription on the first of each month for the total number of lessons expected during that month.
For Private Lessons you can pay by cash or card at our reception or online for single or a block of 4 lessons before your lesson.
We have a male and female changing room. These aren't huge so a lot of people just change on poolside. We also encourage you to arrive swim ready wherever possible as this makes things easier before your swim.
Your swimmer will just need their swimwear (shorts or swimsuit) and goggles.
Long hair will need to be tied up but a hat is optional.
We will provide all floats or equipment which you will need.
Please ensure you have also completed and printed your parking permit ready to display on arrival.
