Weekly Local Classes

Fun and skills that could save your child’s life We feel incredibly proud that we’ve helped save a number of very young children’s lives after they’ve fallen into water and survived – thanks to the skills they learned with us.

Our world-class teachers could have trained as private pilots – five times over – in the time it takes to fully qualify with us.

You can trust us to take the very best care of you and your little one.

Let’s teach your baby to swim!
