Swimming Lessons
Childrens Swimming Lessons
Learning to swim is an essential life skill. At Chigwell Sport and Wellness Centre, our swimming lessons help children become confident and independent in the water. Furthermore, our experienced, qualified teachers ensure your child stays active, has fun, and improves their swimming skills.
Adult Swimming Lessons
Our adult swimming lessons are designed for all abilities. Whether you’re overcoming aquaphobia, a beginner, or looking to refine your strokes and techniques, we offer tailored lessons to help you gain confidence and improve in the water.
Private Swimming Lessons
Our Private Swimming lessons will provide you with your own swimming teacher, whether you wish to learn to swim or just improve your technique. Additionally, we offer one-to-one swimming lessons to both children and adults of all abilities.
S.E.N.D Swimming Lessons
We are delighted to offer SEN swimming lessons for children and adults. In addition, these lessons create an inclusive environment, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn the essential skill of swimming. Our dedicated teachers have a genuine passion for delivering these sessions and have received specialised training to support SEN learners.
Lessons take place in small groups, and a parent or carer must join their child in the water until they feel comfortable. Each 30-minute session is tailored to meet specific needs, helping both children and teachers focus on relevant and effective learning.
