Lessons are the best way to pick up this fantastic skill and they're great fun too. Our swim team follow the Scottish Swimming Learn to Swim Programme so you know that from pre-school (3 ½ - 5 years) to classes specifically for older children you're getting the best training around. You can also look forward to regular Scottish Swimming awards (badge and/or certificate) and progress report cards and badges from ‘Tadpole’ right through to a ‘Marathon’ swim are available twice per year too.
Our lessons run right across the City, from Ainslie Park to Portobello and everywhere in between. Use the activity and timetable search and if you want to know more about the lessons check out the descriptions page (link below).
Teachers are trained to ensure the programme is as diverse as possible, often having rookie life-saving, water polo, spring board diving, synchronised swimming and Aqua Jets sessions during the term. The additional activities ensure the child develops enhanced water skills and confidence, as well as having a fun introduction to other water based activities. Edinburgh clubs offer these activities as a progression to the learn to swim programme and as an alternative route to competitive swimming.
We host regular fun galas where you can try out a little competitive swimming. Our local clubs attend to help offer parents information on club swimming and everyone who takes part gets a medal and certificate whether you win or not. If you want more information on clubs download our pdf Aquatics Clubs in Edinburgh.
Swim as a family
Swimming with your children and helping them build their water confidence is a great family activity and our family swims offer a cost effective way for you to do just that. Where two adults and two children are swimming, a family swim price means that at least one child swims for free.
