Adult learn to swim

** Please contact us to register your interest for our next 10-week programme starting 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 intend on starting either a 5 week (2 x swim a week) or 10 week (1 x swim a week) course on October 4th. 

Fees are non-refundable, except in exceptional (medical) circumstances, at the discretion of Management.   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. 

  We will ask that you fill in a form giving us more information about you and your experiences and goals.  (to be sent upon booking and returned before lessons start)

Once booking are open, you can book via our APP for already enrolled families, or click below.
