Learning to swim is a key life skill for any child!
We deliver the Swim Wales Learn to swim programme which teaches children the skills and techniques to stay safe around water and enjoy the health benefits of aqua- based activities.
We offer a wide variety of swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, which are detailed below. If a particular lesson is full, simply join the wait list and we'll notify you by email once spares become available.
