Pool currently closed for the season. We will reopen for Easter 2026.
Summer Swim Camps
Our Summer Swim Camps run Monday to Friday throughout July and August, offering children a fun, structured way to build swimming skills, confidence and water safety during the school holidays.
Camps run weekly from the first Monday in July to Friday 28th August 2026. Children are grouped by ability, not age, using the same Starfish, Dory and Shark structure as our group swimming lessons. This allows skills to build naturally and confidently across the summer.
Camp structure
- 5 consecutive days (Monday to Friday)
- Weekly camps with structured learning each day
- Children grouped by ability level
- Clear progression across the week
- Children may attend multiple weeks, continuing to build skills over the season
Children are encouraged to return for additional weeks, allowing confidence and technique to develop steadily across the summer.
Who the camps are for
- Children aged 3–10 years
- Suitable for beginners through to confident swimmers
- Groups are formed based on confidence and ability, ensuring children feel supported and appropriately challenged
Which camp level is right for my child?
Children are grouped by ability, not age, so they feel confident, supported and appropriately challenged.
- Starfish: New to swimming or still building confidence
- Dory: Swimming independently and developing technique
- Shark: Confident swimmers ready for endurance and refinement
Not sure which level to book? Select your best guess — our instructors will help place your child in the most suitable group.
If a change is needed, we’ll adjust groups early in the week to ensure every child is happy and progressing.
