Junior Swimming Lessons Scheme.
We know that busy pools can be a bit too much for some children, especially those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). That’s why we offer swimming lessons during quieter times, so every child can feel comfortable, confident, and have fun in the water!
Here’s what to expect in our quieter sessions
• A calmer environment – perfect for focus and confidence-building.
• Supportive instructors – experienced in helping children with SEND thrive.
Recommended times for a quieter swimming lesson:
• Avondale –Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday
• Hazel Grove –Thursday
• Romiley –Friday
If your child would love to learn to swim but needs a gentler environment, we’re here to help!

Supported Swimming Lessons
(Aged 4 - 11 Years)
Our Supported Lesson scheme is for children aged 4 – 11 years with a disability who may need more support and a smaller class size than mainstream lessons can offer. The aim of these lessons is to teach children to become more independent in the water and help them to join a mainstream class.
We’re sorry, but our supported lessons are full at the moment. We hope to open up the waiting list again in the next few months, so please check back here for updates.
