How swimming lessons have helped our students

I joined adult swim lessons a month ago when they launched. I was terrified of the water at first, but the teacher was so calm I can now go under the water which is a massive achievement for me.

Swim School Participant

I feel safer going on holiday now as Teddy can swim 5 metres by himself and keep himself floating in the water. He has also enjoyed swimming outside of lessons thanks to the free sessions.

Swim School Parent

The teachers were fantastic and patient even though it took a while to get used to being in the pool. Living by the sea makes learning to swim so important as a parent to know they are confident with water when enjoying the beach.
