Joining Our Swimming Lessons

We’re delighted you’ve chosen to swim with us!

To help our swimmers make consistent progress, all lessons are booked with a minimum commitment of 3 months.

When you sign up, you’ll pay for your first 6 weeks of lessons upfront. Before these lessons are completed, we’ll send you an email with simple instructions to set up a monthly Direct Debit, ensuring your place in the programme is reserved without any interruption.

If you decide to leave after your initial 3-month commitment, that’s absolutely fine — we simply ask for 30 days’ notice so we can process the cancellation of your Direct Debit and update your booking.

By completing your registration, you agree to these membership terms. If you have any questions, our team will be happy to help.
