Adult learn to swim
** Bookings now OPEN for our next 10-week programme starting 6th October 2025
We are excited to announce we are continuing our new adult learn-to-swim classes! Learning to swim is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, allowing you to be confident in and around water, enjoying the freedom it gives you to play and swim alongside your children! We acknowledge for some of you, this may be a big step!
We are starting a 10 week (1 x swim a week) course on October 6th - December 15th (incl), no lesson on 27 October for Labour Day.
Fees are non-refundable, except in exceptional (long-term medical) circumstances, and at the discretion of Management. A high level of attendance is recommended to ensure maximum benefit. Cap and goggles and appropriate swimwear are required.
Paula Lindsay will be taking these classes. Paula is a very experienced Learn-to-swim instructor and has previously been with Dolphin Academy as a part-time instructor, and more recently as a casual instructor, filling in when we need her. She has previously taught adults to swim and is very excited to take on these classes for us. Paula believes it is so important to empower adults with the skill of being able to swim or just being confident in the water.
