Build confidence in the water with structured, adult-focused instruction near the Annex. These sessions focus on core skills—breathing, floating, and controlled movement—so beginners and returning swimmers gain reliable technique and comfort at their own pace. Book a lesson and start moving through the water with ease.
Sessions begin with a brief assessment and goal setting. Instructors demonstrate each drill, then guide you through short repetitions with immediate corrections.
We use standard pool equipment, clear verbal cues, and visual markers on the wall to track distance and pacing. Progressions move from supported drills to independent lengths, with rest intervals set to maintain form.
Our programme centres on practical, repeatable skills that translate to real pool use. Sessions are held in accessible pools near the Annex with calm, supervised lanes and clear teaching progressions.
Each lesson balances instruction and guided practice, so you leave with skills you can reproduce independently.
We teach rhythmic breathing, face immersion, and relaxed exhalation, paired with supported floating. Simple drills build awareness of body position and help you stay calm and stable in the water.
Expect short, focused sets with clear cues you can remember between sessions.
Neutral head position, engaged core, and extended reach reduce drag. You will practise front and back streamline, gentle kicks, and glide phases to create smooth, efficient movement.
Coaches use deck demonstrations and in-water feedback to refine alignment.
We introduce basic flutter kick and arm actions for front and back swimming. Drills emphasise timing and coordination rather than speed, building a dependable rhythm you can sustain.
Equipment such as kickboards and pull buoys is used to isolate skills when needed.
Lessons include safe entries, wall push-offs, and simple turns. You will learn lane etiquette and how to rest and restart confidently, making regular pool visits straightforward.
These skills support independent practice in community pools around the Annex.
Consistent instruction produces steady progress you can measure each week. You will notice longer glides, smoother breathing, and reduced effort over short distances.
Qualified coaches adjust drills to your pace, ensuring technique develops correctly and remains comfortable to repeat.
This programme is designed for beginners and adults returning after time away. You do not need prior experience; lessons start with water comfort and build toward short, controlled lengths.
Most participants develop reliable breathing, floating, and short-distance swimming within several sessions. Frequency matters; one to two lessons per week supports steady progress and retention.
Bring a comfortable swimsuit, goggles, and a towel. Optional items include a swim cap and flip-flops. All training equipment used during drills is provided at the pool.
Choose a schedule that fits your routine near the Annex, with options for small groups or private sessions. Expect clear instruction, consistent practice time, and simple homework drills for open swims.
Discuss goals with your coach, track milestones, and progress at a pace that keeps technique clean and repeatable.
