Courses
All swimming lessons are 30 minutes in duration up to stage 8 and Bronze Challenge.
Lessons are 45 minutes in duration from stage 9 and Silver Challenge.
Lessons are held at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Wakefield up to stage 7 and 100 metre distance swims. Children can then transfer automatically to our academy for advanced swimming.
Children can join our Learn to Swim Programme from the age of 3 years upwards and at any stage in their ability to swim.
Although we operate a waiting list, it is possible to obtain a place quickly depending upon your child's ability and your flexibility to attend on the day and time slot available.
It is advisable to register your child on our waiting list from the age of 2 years if you would like them them to attend at 3 years and register at 3 years if you would like them to start when they are 4 years.
