Children's Swimming Lessons

The St Alban's Sports Centre offers an exceptional range of swimming courses that are organised regularly to suit all abilities.

The Amateur Swimming Association’s Learn to Swim Scheme is probably the best swimming development programme in the world. The lessons run on Monday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday evenings after school and on Saturday mornings.

Private tuition is also available to provide extra support and encouragement to all swimmers.

All our courses are competitively priced and organised by qualified coaches to enable progressive development of skills and abilities. Course badges and certificates are always available for children.

Adult swimming courses are also organised to meet your precise needs and can be booked privately with our qualified staff.

The selection of the courses we offer includes:

  • Beginner lessons
  • Shallow end improver lessons
  • Deep end improver lessons
  • Stroke improvement
  • Speedo swim sessions
  • Junior swim fit

Due to the popularity of the scheme, we do have a long waiting list for children's swimming lessons and we advise all parents to book their child in for lessons as soon as possible.
