Learn to Swim Classes

Crash Course Swimming Lessons

Our Intensive Crash Course Swimming Lessons are available to junior swimmers during major school holidays, offering a fantastic opportunity to make rapid progress in a short time.

Courses typically run for four or five consecutive days, depending on bank holidays, with daily lessons that reinforce skills and build confidence quickly.

These sessions are perfect for existing members looking to boost their development or non-members who want to learn or improve their swimming over the break.

All lessons follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, ensuring structured progression and the opportunity to earn recognised awards.

Parent and Child

Join our engaging Saturday swimming classes designed for children aged 1 to 3 years, accompanied by a parent or guardian. Led by a qualified instructor in the water, these sessions focus on building early water confidence and teaching essential safety skills in a fun, supportive environment.

We follow the Discovery Duckling Awards, helping structure the learning while giving children the sense of achievement and progress they deserve.

Preschool Lessons

Our Preschool Swimming Lessons are ideal for children aged 3 to 4 years, offering a gentle and engaging introduction to the water. Classes are held in small groups of up to 4 children, with a qualified instructor in the pool to provide close support and personalised guidance.

Children work toward earning up to 4 Duckling Awards, developing water confidence and essential early swimming skills through fun, structured activities.

These classes are available on select days — contact us for current availability.

Lifesaving Club

Lifesaving Club
Our Lifesaving Club has been proudly established for over 10 years and remains one of our most popular programmes. Open to swimmers who have completed Stage 6 or above, this club offers an exciting next step in aquatic development.

Led by qualified instructors, each 1-hour session includes a mix of in-water training, practical first aid, and theory-based learning. Members work toward a range of awards and challenges, building skills in water safety, rescue techniques, and leadership.

It’s a fantastic way to stay active, gain confidence, and develop lifelong lifesaving skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Oaklands Aquatics Club

The Oaklands Aquatics Club is designed for swimmers who have completed Stage 7 and want to continue progressing through Stages 8–10 of the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework.

These sessions introduce swimmers to a variety of aquatic disciplines, including diving, water polo, synchronised swimming, and competitive stroke development. It’s a fun and engaging way to build well-rounded skills while continuing to grow in confidence and ability in the water.

Oaklands Aquatics Club is also an excellent stepping stone for those interested in exploring competitive swimming before joining a swim club.

SEND Lessons

Our SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) swimming lessons are designed to provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment with a low instructor-to-learner ratio of 1:3.

To help your child get the most out of each session, we kindly ask that a parent or carer join in the water. Your presence not only offers extra emotional and physical support but also helps reinforce the learning and confidence-building process in a way that feels safe and familiar to your child.

Together, we can make swimming a positive and rewarding experience for every learner.
