Wherever you are starting from you'll find a stage in our swim pathway for you to join.

Our unique swim pathway has been developed to assist everyone in the water
Little Fins Stages 1-5
Our Little Fins programme is the next step from our Adult and Little Fins classes. The levels have been designed to develop confidence and assist swimmers from the transition to lessons without an adult in the pool.
Little Fins work through 5 Stages. At the end of each stage swimmers are awarded a certificate for their achievement.
Little Fins is focused on introducing independence in the water.
From floating, blowing bubbles, kicking 2 meters on front and back to travelling 5 meters without assistance can be using a noodle).
At each stage the distance and level of adult support reduces.
Join over 1600 swimmers learning to swim with us each week.
Swim Fins Stages 1-7
Our Swim Fins programme has 7 stages and has been uniquely developed by Billie Whyatt with nearly 20 years of experience as a swimming teacher.
Each Stage develops distance, strength, breathing and stroke techniques.
We encourage swimmers and teach correct stroke techniques to become strong swimmers in the water.
On completion of Swim Fins swimmers will be pre competition ready.
