About our children’s classes
We have an extensive range of classes 7 days a week across our 4 venues - Dunottar School, Wray Common, Royal Alexandra & Albert School (RAAS) and Brooklands School.
Swimming lessons include Parent & Child, children’s Learn to Swim programme (from non-swimmer) and Youth Academy sessions. We are delighted to offer both group and private lessons.
Lessons from 2yrs upwards
Parent & Child classes
We hold our Parent & Child 30 min swimming lessons at Dunottar School at the weekends. These are fun, energy filled lessons specifically designed for toddlers aged 2yrs upwards. We take a games-led approach keeping our young swimmers engaged whilst teaching them the aquatic skills needed to start them on their swimming journey.
Preschool lessons
Our Preschool lessons are for swimmers aged between 3-5yrs. Swimmers learn the fundamentals for independent swimming and water confidence through games and aquatic activities. The swimming teacher is in the water with the swimmers giving comfort and support and we also have aquatic helpers in these classes, providing extra encouragement and assistance.
Learn to Swim lessons
The Flipper Club swimming lessons for swimmers aged 4yrs upwards follow the Swim England Learn to Swim programme ensuring quality structure and outcomes at each level. We start with 30 min classes and swimmers Stage 7 and up have the option of moving into 1hr sessions to develop their swim fitness and technique further.
Youth Academy sessions
Our Academy sessions are for swimmers at Stage 7 and above, 400m+ swimmers. They are 1hr classes which include lengths swimming, all 4 strokes, as well as, teaching other aquatic skills such as water polo, diving and competitive swimming skills. We aim to keep developing our swimmers whilst keeping them engaged so they can continue to enjoy the water beyond the 30 min teaching structure.
