Your pick of pools

Watch your little ones glide through our heated indoor and outdoor pools with dedicated lanes for some serious swimming. Or simply have fun in the dedicated splash and family pools. Thanks to our spacious changing areas, there’s no stress getting ready before and after their swim session.

We’ll provide plenty of inflatables, so they can splash about in safety.

They’re in safe hands with our expert instructors

Our instructors are experts in teaching while ensuring everyone is having fun.

Swim England qualified

All of our swim instructors are Swim England qualified and are carefully selected to ensure they meet the standards we require.

Small groups

Our low coach-to-student ratio means your kids will get the attention they need to thrive in the water.

Following the Swim England Programme, classes are designed to be fun. Kids’ progress is rewarded with certificates and badges to keep them engaged along the way.

Swim Stars – kids swimming lessons

Our kids swimming lessons are divided into stages, matching match the Swim England ‘Learn to Swim’ course. They’ll move from basic skills, including buoyancy and balance, to more advanced techniques such as backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.

With pool-based games, certificates and badges up for grabs, your children will stay engaged and entertained as they develop crucial skills and grow in confidence in the water.

Swim Stars – parent, baby and toddler swimming lessons

We offer swimming lessons for children from just 3 months old. With smaller groups and shorter lessons, our baby swimming lessons introduce your little one to the water slowly while ensuring each parent-and-child pairing has plenty of attention from an instructor.

Expect lots of games, songs and play to keep the mood lifted.

Swim Team

Swim Team

Help your child take their swimming to the next level. If they’re aged 8-16 and can swim 100 metres performing two of the four main strokes (swim stage 7), then the Swim Team could be calling.

See them shine at time trials and galas, and dive into action at water polo. They’ll discover teamwork and meet new friends.

Social swimming

Social swimming

Swimming lessons and expert coaching are vital if your kids want to learn the basics. But when it comes to pure fun, our indoor and outdoor swimming pool facilities are unrivalled.

Many of our Clubs have small splash pools for kids to play around in. And our larger pools have dedicated family swim sessions, so you can make a splash together. Don’t worry, our fully trained lifeguards are on hand to keep an eye on the little ones.

Bookings
Lessons

Will swimming lessons be included in my membership?

All membership packages include access to our indoor and outdoor pools. Adult and kids swimming lessons are available to book for an additional fee.

How can I book?

Members can book and manage kids swimming lessons via the David Lloyd Clubs app or in Club at reception.

When are lessons available?

Lessons run for 50 weeks each year, with a two-week break over the Christmas period.

How old does my child need to be?

We offer classes from 3 months to 16 years.

How long is a lesson?

Kids swimming lessons are usually 30 minutes each, with more advanced lessons lasting 45 minutes.

Once you've booked your child onto Swim Stars lessons, aim for your child to arrive poolside a few minutes before the start of the lesson, where the teacher will be ready to welcome them.

How is their progress measured?

Each stage of our programme has specific criteria that children will work towards meeting. Once they have completed the criteria for that stage, they will receive a badge and certificate and move up to the next stage of their swimming journey.

Just you, add a partner, or include all the family.
