The
INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING SCHOOL
has been operating for 24 years and has taught people from ages ranging from 1 week old to 100 years. Swimming lessons are available in small groups, 1:1 and private lessons.
With the use of two pools we are able to hold our lessons in complete privacy with no spectators. We find this is essential when teaching children as they are then able to give the instructor their fullest attention. Parents are invited to watch and encourage their children’s progress at the end of each course and when they are achieving their badges.
The pools are warm, 90-92 degrees, and we operate small classes of 6-8 children. Our teachers are all Amateur Swimming Association Teachers.
Classes are held on:
Saturday 9.00 – 1.30
Monday 4.00 - 6.00
Tuesday 9.30 – 2.00 (under 5’s) 4.00-6.30
Wednesday 12.30–2.30 (under 5’s) 4.00-6.00
Thursday 4.00 – 6.30
We do not have a waiting list as more classes will be created to keep up with demand.
