Swimming is a skill that everyone should learn, regardless of age. Our adult swimming lessons are an excellent way to boost your physical and mental health. Moreover, swimming is a low-impact sport that's perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels.

At Ballysillan Leisure Centre, we understand the significance of swimming lessons as an essential life skill and form of exercise. Our centre offers affordable and comprehensive children's swimming classes for all age groups and skill levels. 

Lessons are available throughout the year and last 30 minutes each week. Enrollment is open and pupils may join at any point in time.
