LEADING THE WAY IN ADULT SWIMMING TUITION
Since we started we’ve helped dozens of adults who either wanted to learn how to swim, or improve their stroke in the water. Here’s why they chose to work with us:
Classes designed just for adults Unlike most other swim schools who accept all comers, we cater exclusively to adults.
Effective in and out of pool learning Our instructors deliver classes both in and out of the water, in an easy to learn manner, using a combination of assessment tools and equipment.
A focus on water confidence Our aim is to ensure you leave each class feeling positive and confident, with improved techniques to practice until the next lesson.
Smaller, more intimate groups Ensuring that all participants receive the best individual attention. If you prefer not to be taught in a group environment, we also provide private lessons.
Industry experienced instructors Our qualified instructors are all seasoned pros that bring with them with many years of experience teaching both beginners and experienced swimmers. They all swim and are passionate about the water with a couple having been serious competitive swimmers. Convenient and flexible class times Our class times (morning, evenings and weekends) and class lengths are purposely geared towards working people."
