about our swimming lessons?
What do parents say about our swimming lessons?
"Before my 6 year old son came to Ewa and her team, he had lost all his confidence in the water and was starting to dread swimming. Thanks to their clear, calm teaching and smaller class sizes his confidence is back and he made more progress in the first term than he had in the previous year! My daughter was ready to move on from parent and toddler lessons, and I had no hesitation in also signing her up for classes. She had great fun and I think often didn't even realise she was learning skills for her next steps in independent swimming! She has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons."
Serena Newman
"My daughter has been learning swimming with Swim Boost for a few years now. The teachers are excellent and she really enjoys the classes. The teachers take time to explain the move, demonstrate it and then let the children practise. What I particularly like is that each child gets attention and feedback. My daughter is now very confident in water. Thank you for all your hard work with her."
Anjali Das
""We joined Swim Boost lessons around a year ago. What a great decision it was. I used to have to drag my son to swim lessons. I don’t have to do it anymore. My son gained confidence very quickly. It is a pleasure to watch my son being so happy in the pool. The lessons are very dynamic with plenty of time spent on swimming and practicing. The progress my son made is unbelievable. Thank you to the whole team!""

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age of a child to be able to enrol?
To join our swimming lessons your child needs to be at least 3½ years old and older.
What swimming skills does my child need to have to enrol?
Your child does not need to have any swimming skills. We enrol children starting from nervous non-swimmer.
If my child has a fear of the water, can she/he still enrol?
Yes! We have a lot of experience with nervous non-swimmers.
What swimming levels does Swim Boost teach?
Our swimming program covers swimming levels from nervous non swimmers up to four swimming strokes. Including: full backstroke, full front crawl, full breastroke and basic butterfly. We also teach water awareness and safety skills starting with non swimmer groups onwards. From the very beginning we focus on swimming technique as this makes swimmers understand the water and in future swim faster and longer.
How many children are in each group?
We form groups with a maximum of 5 children in one group.
How long does one lesson take?
The swimming lesson takes 30 minutes. We run 12 weeks courses, during the term time.
Do parents get into the water with the youngest non-swimmer children?
No, parents do not get into the water. There is a waiting area for parents to watch their children during the lessons.
Are the teachers in the water?
Yes, teachers get into the water. This depends on the swimming level and needs of the groups teachers are in or out of the pool.
Do siblings have their lessons at the same time?
We always try to keep sibling lessons as close as possible to make it easier for your family life. Usually siblings have lessons at the same time or one by one.
Do parents have access to the swimming progress of their children?
At the end of each term teachers work on assessments and making notes in the children’s Award Books. This book shows you what your child can do, and what she/he will be learning next term. Each child gets their first Award Book at the end of their first term with us.
What does my child need to bring to swimming lessons?
Your child needs a bathing suit. Swimming goggles are not required but helpful. If you have them, bring them to your lessons. You will also need body wash/shampoo and a towel.
Shoes are not allowed in the locker rooms and in the pool area. If you and your child do not want to go barefoot, bring extra shoes/flip-flops.
If your child has a medical condition that requires emergency medicine, please make sure you have it with you during your childs swimming lessons.
