Due to high demand for lessons over the last year we have made the difficult decision to close some of our Get In The Swim waiting lists. We’re sorry for any disappointment this causes. However, we are working hard to make sure all children can learn to swim and thank you for your patience. 

Dive into our comprehensive swimming lessons programme designed for children of all ages and skill levels.

Our experienced instructors provide a safe and nurturing environment, teaching essential swimming techniques while instilling water confidence and safety awareness. Join us and watch your child make a splash while developing lifelong swimming skills.

Swim Assessments
We ask all children aged 5+ years looking to join our swimming lesson programme to attend a swim assessment, so we can determine which level of our SwimSkills programme they should be placed into.

Following the Swim Assessment, all customers will be asked to complete an enquiry form. Thereafter you will be contacted by our Swim Development Team to either be offered a space, or to join the enquiry list.

Application Process
Once you have been offered a place in the lesson scheme, you will be asked to complete a Get in the Swim Membership Scheme Form, and make an initial pro-rata payment at your preferred Sports Centre.

To comply with banking regulations, and to protect customers from fraud and identity theft, you may be asked for proof of photographic ID and bank account ownership.

For further information about the programme please download our Get In The Swim parents leaflet.

As far as possible, we integrate children with additional support needs into our mainstream lessons.  However for those children with more complex needs, we offer swimming lessons especially tailored ASN lessons at both Aubigny Sports Centre and Dunbar Leisure Pool.
