Pre-School
AGE: 3.5 to 5 years approx.
ABILITY: Beginner
Pre-school swimming classes focus on basic water skills, safety, and growing their enjoyment of the water. Your child needs to develop these key life skills at an early age to enable them to remain safe in and around water.
Our preschool lessons are very beneficial in helping your child onto the pathway for Learn to Swim lessons. We have found that when they start swimming early, they progress a lot quicker!
Swim classes at this age are kept to a low student/teacher ratio to enable more swimming time and individual tuition for your child and their needs. Set by ability rather than by age, your child will move to the next level as soon as they have attained the required criteria.
Our purpose-built pool and Splash Swim School program aids development and progression through the levels.

We love celebrating the milestones your children achieve throughout their journey with our swim family, for the big and small achievements. Some of the ways we celebrate are:
- Level graduation certificates.
- Swimmer of the month.
- And of course, lots of smiles and high fives
- Appropriate swimwear must be worn by all swimmers. (We do not recommend large rash shirts or baggy shorts as this restricts movement and can hinder swim progression)
- Infants and young children must wear a reusable swim nappy or close-fitting swim pants to prevent accidents occurring in the pool. NO disposable nappies are to be worn in the pool. We recommend “Zoggs – Swimsure or Adjustable Swim Nappy” We have size samples available to try on at the pool.
- All children in preschool and school aged classes (not toddlers) require goggles and a cap which can be fitted for your child.
- For your convenience we have a selection of quality Zoggs goggles and swim caps available at reception for purchase.
