Adult and Baby Classes Suitable for babies from around six weeks old, these classes are an introduction to the swimming world! The accompanying adult is shown how to encourage their baby to enjoy being in the pool environment, and at the same time get them used to having their faces near or in the water.

Synchronised Swimming For anyone who can swim 50m or more stress-free, and who are proficient at sculling, these lessons introduce the basic skills needed for synchronised swimming. Work includes routines and figures, with music where appropriate.

Individual requirements can be catered for within these sessions.
