Weekend Lessons Offer

We cannot provide trial lessons but our team of teachers will (informally) assess every swimmers ability in their first lesson to ensure they will succeed within the registered stage. Should they not meet the stage criteria, they will be re-directed to an appropriate stage or alternative programme.
