Swimming lessons

Not only is swimming an important life skill but a fantastic way to have fun and keep fit!

Children's Swimming Lessons

Active4Today, in conjunction with the Swimming Teachers Association (STA), provide swimming lessons for all from 3 years upwards with lessons starting from as little as £24 per month.  Prior to starting our main swimming lesson programme at the age of 4 years and over, we offer Aquababes, Aqua Tots and pre-school swimming lessons.

All our teachers are qualified to the highest standard and follow the STA Learn to Swim scheme. Our lessons are approximately 30 mins in duration and follow a 13-week lesson programme during which time all children have the opportunity to attempt at least 2 awards.

Lessons are accessed through the Xperience Membership programme which offers a wide variety of courses and activities for children aged from 3 months to 15 years.

Aqua Babes from 3 months to 2 years

Come for a sing-along to all your favourite nursery rhymes in the water, building confidence and awareness of the pool surroundings.  Adult accompaniment required.

Aqua Tots from 2 years to 3 years

Lessons are offered with adult accompaniment in the pool and aim to develop basic swimming skills and introduce the various strokes in a fun and enjoyable session.

Pre-School from 3 years to 4 years

Lessons focus on developing your child's confidence in the water and introducing them to the key skills they'll need to swim on their own safely. Lessons are available with and without adult accompaniment in the water. Please check with your preferred leisure centre for further details.

Swim School from 4 years

These are structured and fun lessons that will develop all strokes following our 13 week programme.

Small Group Swimming Lessons - £31 per month

Our small class sizes are designed for children requiring that little bit of extra support to build confidence, develop individual stroke technique and enable the teacher to fully engage with every child in the class.  As a result, children will see greater progress in a smaller group to become confident and able swimmers.

Class sizes are a maximum of four children per group – this may vary depending on ability and the age of the children. 

1-2-1 Swimming Lessons from 3 months to 15 years - £72 per month (adult swimming lessons available at Newark Sports and Fitness Centre)

Our 1-2-1 swimming lessons are designed for children requiring extra support to build confidence, develop individual stroke technique or who may have a disability. Children who are registered disabled will be prioritised. These lessons offer children individually tailored tuition to become a confident and able swimmers. As a minimum, four swimming lessons are available monthly. Children must attend an assessment prior to being accepted on the programme. 1-2-1 lessons are subject to availability.
