Swimming Lessons Offer Chance To Learn A Vital Life Skill

Learning to swim is a vital life skill which every child should experience. The importance of this is underlined by The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS), which says that more than 400 lives are lost to drowning across the UK and Ireland every year.

Award-winning swimming lessons at your local Everyone Active leisure centre help children to have fun and be active, as well as showing them how to be safe in water. The programme offers lessons for all ages, with child classes starting at four months, right through to adult classes. All swimming teachers are Swim England level 2 – or equivalent – qualified.
