Our Squads

Learn to Swim

Swimming lessons are available from age 3 upwards.

Swimmers are divided into groups according to ability and will progress through designated awards schemes with certificates and badges to show achievement.

Many of these swimmers progress in to the Academy Squad from after a successful trial going into competitive swimming.
