Our excellent progression system allows swimmers to learn basic skills in a fun, nurturing environment and at a comfortable pace. Swim lessons are 30 minutes long and run in 2 week sessions (4 weeks for Saturday only lessons). Beginning levels are taught at a semi-private 3:1 student to instructor ratio; intermediate and advanced levels (and springboard diving) are held at a group ratio of 6:1.
