Other Swim Activities
We have a number of activites available in the pool for a range of swimmers.
Swim Training
This is the next level on from our main group lessons and gives your child a chance to refine each stroke and get into the competitive aspect of swimming. Swim Training runs on Wednesdays at 3:30pm during term-time only.
Swim Club
For all the swimming mad children, we have Swim Club on Thursdays at 7am, term-time only. This really encourges children to push themselves and get into the spirit of friendly competition. Most of our local competitors in the Community Games train here.
Turtle Tots
One of our newest additions to the term-time lessons is Turtle Tots. Designed for babies and carers, the classes offer a fabulous introduction to the water from a young age. See the Turtle Tots webpage for all sign up information!
