Adult Swimming Lessons
Hands-On Learning with 1-2-1 Tuition
Learning to swim as an adult is more common than you might think. Many of our students are adults who never had the opportunity to learn as children, or who lost confidence after a difficult experience with water.
Private lessons: £92 per month (1-2-1) or £72 per month (2-2-1) • 30-minute lessons
A Judgment-Free Environment
Our private pool offers something public facilities can’t: complete privacy. There are no other swimmers watching, no crowded changing rooms, and no pressure to keep up with a group. It’s just you, your instructor, and the water.
This privacy matters especially for adults who feel self-conscious about learning a skill most people acquire as children. You can ask questions, take your time, and progress at your own pace without any external pressure.
Patient, Specialised Instruction
Our instructors hold both ASA Level 2 and STA qualifications, with specific training in working with nervous beginners. They understand that adult learners need different approaches than children—more explanation, more patience, and more control over the pace of progression.
Whether you’re completely new to water or returning after years away, your instructor will adapt the lesson to your comfort level and learning style.
What You’ll Learn
We tailor lessons to your specific goals:
-
Overcoming water anxiety and building basic confidence
-
Learning to float, breathe, and move through water comfortably
-
Developing proper technique in front crawl, backstroke, Breaststroke and (if you want to) butterfly
-
Building stamina and efficiency for fitness swimming
-
Preparing for specific goals (holidays, triathlons, family swimming)
-
Refining existing skills or correcting technique issues
But most importantly, whatever you feel you want to learn! These lessons are built for you.
Flexible Scheduling
Adult lessons can be scheduled during daytime hours when the pool is quieter, or in the evening after work. We work around your schedule to find times that work for you.
Learning with a Partner
The 2-2-1 option (£72 per month each) allows you to learn alongside a friend or partner. Many adults find that this reduces anxiety and adds motivation, while still receiving individual attention and feedback from your instructor.
Pricing Details
Monthly fee breakdown: 39 lessons per year across 11 teaching months (1-2-1: £25.94 per lesson; 2-2-1: £20.30 per lesson if learning with a partner). Lessons are scheduled at a consistent weekly time that works for your schedule.
