Children's Swimming Lessons

Learning to swim is both a necessary skill and a rewarding experience. Our committed instructors are trained to ensure they can inspire learning within a structured teaching programme. Our primary focus is to ensure safety and confidence in the water by offering weekly lessons or 1-2-1's/2-2-1's during the school holidays.

Lessons begin with ‘Duckling’ classes for parent and child from the age of 2+ years which currently run on a Thursday and Saturday morning.

The next stage of lessons start when a child turns 4. We follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. This national syllabus progresses the children from their first splash in Stage 1, to gliding through the water in all four strokes as they reach stage 7.

At the end of the Learn to Swim programme your child will be a confident and efficient swimmer. We offer lessons on Monday and Wednesday from 4.00pm - 7.30pm, as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings.

We also offer Stages 8 - 10 for children who want to continue to develop their swimming technique, fitness, and stamina. Stages 8-10 include learning to dive and turn, introducing some of the competitive elements of swimming ready for children to move into competitive swimming should they choose.

Small Group Swimming runs on a Friday from 4.00pm - 6.00pm, with group sizes limited to 50% of regular occupancy. 

Swimmers are required to attend a FREE 15 minute swimmer assessment in advance to ensure they are placed in the right stage. Complete beginners and adult swimmers do not require an assessment.

Adult Swimming Lessons

USSC currently offers group adult swimming lessons on a Thursday morning at 10.30am. Lessons are led by experienced and fully qualified swimming teachers and are open to all levels and abilities. Adult lessons are for 30 minutes.

The Swim England Adult Swimming Framework is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced swimmers who would just like some additional coaching to improve their technique.

Adults have very different needs to children when learning to swim – as an adult, you have different motivations and learn in different ways.

Our Adult Swimming Framework takes this into account, providing goals and targets suitable for those aged 16+.

Children's Small Group Swimming Lessons

Aqua Aerobics

Aqua is a water-based exercise class suitable for non-swimmers as well as swimmers. Aqua aerobics builds fitness and stamina, with the water supporting the body and reducing the impact on your joints. Pushing against the resistance of the water activates muscles and builds strength.

Classes are suitable for non-swimmers.

For session availability, see the Group Exercise Timetable.
