What is included in every lesson

- An assessment in your Taster, with a tailored plan and milestones
- Your instructor in the water with nervous beginners

- No direct debit — pay per Taster or plan
- Qualified, DBS-checked instructor
Value, not just price
Why private 1-1 is better value than a cheaper group class
In a group class your child can spend under half the lesson actually swimming, and progress can take years. In a private 1-1 lesson they are in the water the whole time, learning at their own pace — most beginners go from zero to swimming a width in around five weekly lessons. You are paying for the result, not pool time.
