1:1 and Semi-Private Swimming Lessons for 3+ years old

We offer swimming lessons for preschoolers. Children aged 3 years old and up to 4.5 are classed as pre-schoolers). If your 3 year old is are happy to have lessons without a parent being in the water with your child, you can book pre-school lessons with us.

Swim lessons for 3 year olds and a bit older pre-schoolers’ could be semi-private (1:2) lessons or private (1:1) lessons. In 1:2 (semi-private with maximum of 2 children to a teacher), children are put together based on their age and swimming abilities. So, if your child is between 3 to 4.5 and cannot swim and is a beginner, your child can share lessons with other pre-schoolers who are beginners, given your child is water confident.
