Junior Swim (3 months – 16 years)

Our world-class junior swim programme follows the Swim England Swimmer Pathway which helps kids of all abilities develop a full range of swimming strokes and water skills. The class sizes are small to allow for close attention to the kids by our Swim England Level 2 teachers.
When combined, they turn kids into competent, confident and safe swimmers who can use breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and front crawl. At each stage of the pathway kids will receive a variety of awards and regular reports to ensure they are motivated to continue.

Once your child has completed a Shark Test, they can use the pool on their own during family swim times. They will be asked to complete drills in the pool.

Rookie Lifeguard offers the first opportunity to explore water safety, gradually gaining independence and confidence while learning vital life skills. The programme will inspire kids, whilst helping them keep themselves, their friends and their family safe in the water.
Swim Team (8 – 16 years)
If your child adores spending time in the pool, our swim team could be ideal. Besides improving stamina and skills, it gives them the chance to enter friendly competitions at your club and against other David Lloyd Clubs nearby.
The Swim Team involves hour long sessions each week where they can perfect their swimming abilities alongside friends and learn to work in a team culminating in regular competitions.
