Learn to Swim
All of our leisure centres offer swimming lessons for everyone with classes ranging from Swim Totz right through to competitive swimming and our adult classes mean it's never too late to learn. Across the district we teach over 3000 people each week.
The swimmers journey through aquatics following the National Plan for Teaching Swimming will result in the development of a wide range of skills. The skills are like pieces of a jigsaw and when put together result in a competent, confident and safe swimmer.
*As well as our highly regarded Swim Schemez Lessons we also have Swimming Clubs training in all our pools on a regular basis to cater for more advanced requirements.
Zest Junior Parties
We offer swimming parties for kids at the leisure centres to celebrate their birthdays. Details available from reception.
