Learn to swim

First steps in swimming while they enjoy
and are taught the proper skills in the water

Learn to swim

One way of ensuring safety in the water is by taking swimming lessons from an early age along with exposing children to water often. The benefits of swimming are widely known for adults and children alike, but for children in particular, learning to swim has added benefits:

  • Boost confidence through improvement in the water
  • Your child will learn about water safety in and around water
  • Swimming is a great way to exercise
  • Earlier development of physical skills including hand-eye coordination and muscle ton
  • Enhances social and personal skills

Swimming lessons are also highly beneficial for children over the age of five as it enhances their knowledge of safety around water as well furthering their skills and stroke development.

We also recognise that not everyone had access to swimming lessons as a child, and that learning to swim as an adult can be a daunting experience. Our coaches take on a supportive and encouraging role to give adults the confidence and opportunity to learn an important life skill.

At Aquahub, our learn to swim programme has been carefully designed taking vital elements into consideration like water safety, water confidence and enjoying the water. The programme is broken down into 3 learning levels, each of which has a set criteria. More information about these levels can be found below.

Sticker Book

Our unique Aquahub Milestone Programme is at the heart of everything we do. As your child grows, develops and reaches each Milestone, they will earn sticker awards to proudly show friends and family. 

Every stage has been created to ensure focus on a number of key development areas, from physical and sensory development to swimming milestones, that they will reach during these early years. Not only does the Milestones Programme give your child a fun, highly visual record, but it is also designed to help you understand the stages and learning milestones of your child’s swimming journey. 

Every swimmer is issued with a free sticker booklet upon registering with Aquahub.
