If your child is over the age of 4, you can enrol your child into swimming lessons at reception at The Heights or Medina. Our friendly reception team can advise which stage is ideal for your child, and to find a suitable day and time for the swimming lessons.
If your child has never had swimming lessons before they will automatically start their lessons in Stage 1.
If your child has previously had swimming lessons elsewhere, we recommend having a swimming assessment where our swim team will assess your child’s swimming ability to determine which stage they will be in. Swim assessments are available every Saturday.
We have two payment options for our swimming lessons.
Monthly Direct Debit: An easy, on-rolling payment of £34 per month.
Block of 10 Lessons: Purchase a 10-week block for £71.50. As your 10 weeks come to an end, you’ll receive an email notification to top up your block, which can be done in person or over the phone.
If you choose the direct Debit option, you will need to complete our mandate form, available at reception at The Heights or Medina where an interim payment will be needed to cover the lessons until the first direct debit payment comes out.

Safety – By learning to swim, your child becomes equipped with water skills that can increase water safety.
Health – Swimming increases strength, endurance, flexibility and balance as well as enhancing heart and lung condition.
Fun! – Easily the main reason for teaching your child how to swim is it is fun!
All of our swimming lessons are in line with the Swim England Learn to Swim Pathway: a seven-stage comprehensive, integrated and progressive teaching programme based on technical and educational principles.
