Adult Swim Lessons

Absolutely! Fear of water is the most common challenge we face with adult learners, and we have a 100% success rate. Our instructors are specially trained to work with fearful adults, using gentle, gradual techniques to build confidence.

We start in shallow water where you can stand comfortably, and progress at your pace. Many adults who were terrified of water are now confident swimmers who enjoy swimming for fitness and fun. Your fear is completely normal and we know exactly how to help you overcome it.

This varies by individual, but many adults start swimming in their very first lesson! Typically, within 5 lessons you'll be floating and starting basic strokes. After 12 lessons, most adults can swim confidently across the pool.

We recommend starting with our 6-lesson starter package to assess your progress, though most adults choose the 12-lesson package for comprehensive skill development. Remember, adults learn faster than children because you can follow instructions immediately!

You're never too old to learn! We've successfully taught adults from 18 to 75 years old. In fact, older adults often learn faster because they're more focused and determined. Swimming is especially beneficial for older adults as it's low-impact exercise that's easy on joints.

We have many success stories of people in their 60s and 70s who learned to swim with us and now swim regularly for fitness and health. Age is truly just a number when it comes to learning this life-saving skill.

All our adult lessons are completely private 1-on-1 sessions. It's just you and your instructor in the pool area - no other students watching or judging. We understand that learning to swim as an adult can feel vulnerable, which is why privacy is paramount.

Our heated indoor pool provides a private, comfortable environment where you can learn at your own pace without any pressure or embarrassment. Remember, there's no shame in learning something new - it takes courage!

You'll need: a comfortable swimsuit (one-piece for ladies, swimming trunks for men), a towel, swimming cap and goggles (optional but recommended). Avoid loose shorts or clothing that becomes heavy when wet.

Our facility has changing rooms and warm showers. The pool is heated year-round, so you'll be comfortable regardless of the weather. If you're unsure about what to wear, just ask when booking - we're happy to advise!

Yes, for certain memberships! The 12, 24, and 48 lesson packages can be shared between two people, with lessons split equally. For example, a 12-lesson package gives each person 6 lessons. Both students must attend the same class session together.

The 6-lesson memberships cannot be shared. This sharing option is perfect for couples or friends who want to learn together and support each other through the journey!

This is completely normal and exactly where we start! Most adult beginners can't put their face in water initially. We use special breathing techniques and gradual progression to help you become comfortable. We never force anything - everything happens at your pace.

We'll teach you proper breathing techniques, starting with blowing bubbles and gradually progressing. Many students are surprised how quickly they overcome this fear with the right guidance and patience. Within a few lessons, you'll be comfortable with water on your face.

Our 20-metre heated indoor pool averages 1.2 metres deep - perfect for adult learners! At this depth, most adults can comfortably stand with their heads well above water. This consistent depth means you'll feel secure throughout the pool, able to touch the bottom and stand up whenever you need to.

The 1.2-metre depth is ideal for learning - deep enough to practise proper swimming techniques, but shallow enough that you always feel safe and in control. Your instructor is always within arm's reach, and we use flotation aids when helpful. You'll never feel out of your depth or unsafe.

The benefits are life-changing! Safety is paramount - you'll be able to protect yourself and your children around water. Swimming is the perfect low-impact exercise for all ages, improving cardiovascular health, building muscle, and reducing stress without straining joints.

Beyond physical benefits, you'll gain confidence, open up travel opportunities (beach holidays, water sports), enjoy family pool time, and potentially join swimming clubs for social connections. Many adults say learning to swim was one of their best life decisions!

Yes! We have a 100% success rate with adults who complete their lesson package. Every single adult who has committed to our programme has learned to swim. We work with you at your pace until you achieve your swimming goals - that's our promise.

Our proven teaching methods, patient instructors, and personalised approach ensure your success. If you're willing to try, we guarantee you'll swim. Many adults swim in their very first lesson, surprising themselves with what they can achieve!
