Beginner Swimming Lessons for Children
Our beginner swimming lessons are for children aged 4 and over who are new to the water or not yet swimming independently. Children start in Eel 1 — the first independent stage of the Swimtime Award Scheme — learning water confidence, floating and their first strokes in a small group. Beginners start in Eel 1 specifically, so your child learns alongside others at exactly the same stage.
- For complete beginners aged 4+ — no experience needed
- Children swim without a parent in the water for the first time
- Water confidence, floating and first strokes
- Small groups, with progress tracked through the Swimtime Award Scheme
