Learning to swim is a key life skill for any child. Swimming lessons teach them independence, gives them the ability to get themselves out of potentially life-threatening situations, and allows them to get active while enjoying themselves.

 

Everyone Active’s swimming lessons start for children as young as 4 months old and are available for all ages. Choose from private one-to-one lessons, adult lessons, adult and child lessons or junior lessons. Students work towards badges and certificates, collecting them at each stage.

 

Why choose Everyone Active lessons?

  • Lessons are available 50 weeks of the year and 7 days a week, with a break over the Christmas period at most centres.
  • Students are assessed regularly and moved up as soon as they are ready for the next stage.
  • Qualified and DBS checked teachers.
  • Students will have access to ‘AquaPassport’ to track progress, play online games and collect trophies.
