Swimming lessons for adults

We offer adult swimming lessons for groups, individuals or people with special needs, injuries or disabilities.

Group lessons

Our adult swimming lessons and aquatic courses are for all abilities and suitable for ages 15 years and older.

Lessons run with the school term, and cater to all levels – from basic swimming skills to improving stroke and breathing techniques. No lessons are available on public holidays.

  • Adult Advanced
