Strokes

Strokes offers swimming lessons for all ages and abilities. All our teachers are accredited, either by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) or the Swimming Teachers Association (STA).

Mini Strokes

For young children aged four months to five years who love to play in water.

First Strokes

For confident three-year-olds and nervous four- to five-year-olds.

Junior Strokes

For children aged four and over who are confident in shallow water and who are able to follow instructions.

Junior Options

For children who are confident in deep water and who are able to:

  • swim at least 100 metres
  • submerge fully
  • tread water.

Premier Strokes

Designed to cater for individual needs. The pupil-to-teacher ratio has been kept low with this in mind.

Adult Strokes

Whatever your age, it is never too late to learn to swim.
