Swim lessons: Swimtime Award Scheme

Swim lessons with Swimtime follow an Aquatic journey that allows our swimmers to meet Aquatic Friends.

Our learn to swim lessons are delivered by our highly trained Swimtime Swimming Teachers who follow internationally recognised standards. 

These fun and exciting swimming lessons, take our learners though an immersive and exciting programme. This not only teaches stroke techniques but crucially, water safety skills. It ensures they develop the ability to swim and water safety awareness, a skill for life. 

As the swimmers’ progress through our Learn to Swim Programme they will achieve Awards in line with the programme structure and criteria. This will be assessed and monitored allowing a smooth transition through each stage within each level.

Each set of awards are represented by a character, based upon an animal that has real world, swimming skills. 

Our lesson finder is live now for you to find lessons.
