We offer everything from baby classes through to classes for adults – and while each level has group lessons, there’s always the additional option of private tuition.
Swim School terms are generally 10 weeks long, and we offer free assessments to ensure that all swimmers are placed in a class that will suit their capabilities and age. With a dedicated teaching pool kept at a comfy temperature, it’s a supportive, safe environment to learn the essential skills of swimming and water safety.
Starting from 3 months, start your water baby's love of the water for life the right way.
Learning to swim from a young age is a wonderful bonding experience for both babies and their parents, and little swimmers learn motor skills, stability and cognitive development during their time in the water.

YMCA’s lessons develop clear and achievable swimming and water safety goals for your child. Our lessons are well structured yet fun. We focus on teaching aquatic and safety skills as well as developing each child’s confidence to love and be safe in the water for life.
YMCA children’s swimming lessons create an environment where kids are able to flourish while being put through their paces. Swimmers will work their way through learning all strokes as well as key water safety skills – developing good technique and great cardiovascular fitness as they do it.
Water safety and confidence is important at any age. Learning to swim as an adult can be a daunting experience - we're here to support your bravery by teaching you swimming and water safety skills and knowledge to keep both you and your family safe in the water. No matter your skill, age or experience, our instructors teach with patience and respect.
Whether you’re coming into lessons with no experience whatsoever, or you need to brush up on some technique, we’re equipped to guide you through the necessary steps to become more confident in your swimming.
