We offer high quality lessons which are active, informative, progressive and lots of fun. We are stroke technique focused and taught by fully-qualified instructors.
Our adult swimming lessons will enable you to challenge yourself, and with our support and goal-oriented training, you will learn how to swim.
Although our training is intense, we can assure you that it is also both enjoyable and rewarding. We focus on swimming techniques, breaking each stroke into manageable steps. This allows you to really focus on one aspect of the stroke at a time, making it easier for you to learn. With safety as the priority at all times, we can help those of you who are afraid of the water to overcome your fear. We also have a Go Waters independent social group set up by ex students if you would like to socialise out of the pool. It’s always fun when we meet.
