The first thing we do is place you at the right level — not as a label, but because an adult who cannot float learns nothing in a group already swimming sets.
For anyone afraid of water, who has never swum, or who cannot let go of the side. We start with floating, breathing and getting your feet off the floor in the shallow end, with no stopwatch and no comparisons.
Goal: swim 25 metres unaided and safely.
For people who swim but tire quickly, sink at the legs, or only ever swim one stroke. We work on side breathing, alignment, catch and kick across all four strokes, with specific corrections.
Goal: swim comfortably and efficiently, not just get there.
For those preparing an open-water swim, a triathlon, or simply wanting faster times. Sets, paces and heart-rate control in a 20-metre pool with lanes.
Goal: progress with structure instead of repeating lengths with no plan.
The obstacle is almost never physical. When a 45-year-old starts from zero, what weighs is the fear of looking foolish in front of others. That is exactly why these groups work: everyone is in the same position and nobody is watching.
Four things worth knowing before you start:
Many students combine the weekly lesson with lane-swimming sessions. It is the fastest way to consolidate what you learn — and the cheapest, with a pass.
Lane swimming runs Mon-Fri 09:30-21:30 · Sat 09:00-13:15. Between 16:00 and 18:30 the pool is given over to lessons, so avoid that block if you want to swim lengths.
No. Swimming is one of the sports that adapts best to starting late: there is no joint impact and progress depends on technique, not age. Beginner groups have adults of all ages.
That is the most common reason people put it off. Beginner groups are all in the same position and classes are organised by level, not age. Nobody is watching.
To swim 25 metres safely, most adults need two to three months of weekly classes. After that, technique keeps improving for a long time, as in any sport.
Yes, provided you have technical basics. If you swim but tire quickly or sink at the legs, technique first — going straight to sets cements the errors.
Missed classes are not made up unless there is a justified reason. If it is a one-off, tell the instructor and it will be assessed.
