Swimming FAQ
-
We start our classes from age 3 and beyond!
-
No, just hand them over to us and have a half hour off to relax!
-
Please bring some goggles and usual swim gear, costume & towel! We provide arm floaties for children if required, pool noodles and kickboards-don't worry if you have no idea what those are!
-
This totally depends on the individual and their swim journey so far. The more exposure to water the better. I highly encourage families to make swimming a part of their leisure time, to grow water confidence and safe play in the pool.
-
We keep our class numbers small to ensure all children get adequate attention for their individual swimming needs. No more than 6 in each class, with the teacher in the water. Lane training can have up to 8 max-teacher on poolside.
-
We don't follow a typical rigid levels system within our school. We offer every child the opportunity to learn at their pace, with appropriate encouragement and wont hold them back if they cant tick 'all the boxes'.
-
We reserve our one-to-one sessions for those children who are perhaps struggling in group settings for whatever reason or for those who might need some additional support.
-
No we don't. We are super confident your child (or yourself) will love our lessons!
-
Absolutely! We run our evening adult sessions for adults that are complete beginners, from totally terrified to 'could never get the hang of the breathing'. We coach adults who want to improve their technique, stamina and endurance and those who might fancy training for an event such as a triathlon or Ironman!

“My boys have both completed their first full block at Simply Swim and I was in tears seeing their rapid improvement over such a short time.”
“We have wasted so much money and time on other well-known swim schools with no improvement whatsoever, despite them going for well over a year. I cannot rate Sally and her team of instructors highly enough!”
AMY M.
“Six weeks of lessons with the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Simply Swim’s adult lessons have given me my confidence back and prepared me to hit the pool more regularly.”
