Empowering Adult Swimmers
Adults come to us for a variety of reasons: some are complete beginners who have never had the opportunity to learn to swim, others can “kind of swim” but lack technique or style, and some are proficient swimmers who want to improve their skills.
We love teaching adults, as witnessing the independence and confidence they gain is incredibly rewarding for our teachers and motivates us to push them beyond what they thought possible in the pool.
What levels do you teach?
We teach all levels, from complete beginners to advanced swimmers aiming to improve for fitness, join a masters class, or participate in open water swims or triathlons.
How long are your lessons?
Adult group lessons are 45 minutes long, while adult 1:1 lessons are 30 minutes long.
How many lessons will I need to be able to swim?
There’s no fixed timeline for this. Your instructor will provide continuous feedback and guidance after each lesson. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate swimmer, you can ask your instructor for drills to practice outside of lessons to enhance your progress. Remember, the more you swim, the better you’ll get.
Do you offer intensive programmes for adults?
Yes, we do. You can book a series of lessons designed to accelerate your progress in a short period of time. Our holiday booster weeks, consisting of 5 consecutive lessons Monday to Friday during each school holiday and half-term, are also excellent options.
Do I need to wear a swim hat and goggles?
It is mandatory for all swimmers to wear swim hats. Goggles are highly recommended as they reduce anxiety about putting your face in the water, especially for beginners. We sell swim hats and goggles at our venues.
What do I need to bring with me?
Just your swimming costume, swim hat, goggles, and a towel. Besides swimming costumes, everything else is available for purchase at the venue.
What happens if I miss a lesson?
If you are unable to attend a swimming lesson, please log the absence via the SWIMTANK app or parent portal. This alerts the office and your swimming teacher. Each venue has its own policy for making up missed lessons, which will be emailed to you after enrollment.
