We recognise that not all children will be at the same level when it comes to swimming. That’s why we have children’s swimming classes for all ability levels and ages. Below is an outline of our Swim School classes and ability groups for children aged 4–16 years. If your child is younger, we also offer Swimbies, which are baby and infant classes for children aged three months and older.
Our Pre-School swimming lessons focus on developing your child’s confidence in the water and introducing them to the key skills they’ll need to swim on their own safely. Lessons are available with and without parents in the water.
Our Foundation swimming lessons are designed for school-aged kids who are beginners or completely new to swimming.
These lessons will teach them how to be safe in and around water.
Development classes are a level above Foundation lessons and are for children who already have a good basis of swimming skills and who are able to swim 15m unaided. Like our Foundation classes, these cover various ability levels, ensuring each child feels comfortable.

"Since joining Broadway and its swimming programme my child's confidence has grown massively. Before joining swimming lessons my son was very shy, timid and struggled to interact with other kids, he even struggled when it came to listening to other adults, but his teacher, Kev, was so understanding, patient and caring. His lessons are always so engaging and he uses a array or techniques and tools.
Kev is always catering his lessons to ensure that the kids are being challanged, making sure that they are learning every step of the way. Kev, seemed to see my sons potential way before he or even we did.
My son is now so confident in the water and he loves attending his lessons and even makes us go of the weekend or days off. Kev has really unlocked a side of our son that we knew was there, we just could not see how to unlock it.
There has been a number of hurdles along the way but Kev has helped guide my son through them and he has truly come out of the other side better for it and each time his love for swimming just grew.
I cannot recommend enough the lessons at Broadway. To learn such a huge life skill in such a fun way, it is just amazing."
