We believe that every child should have a chance to learn to swim.
We provide swimming lessons for children of every age and ability – from babies to teenagers, group lessons and one-to-one’s.
For adults, it’s never too late to learn to swim or to start enjoying swimming again. You can be a complete beginner or just in need to perfect your existing strokes. Please contact us to book your one-to-one lessons.

My little boy had no confidence in the swimming pool at all. But since he started doing he’s swimming lessons with Adele he is oozing with confidence when in the water. He really looks forward to Sunday’s for he’s swimming lessons.
My daughter has been with Adele at Aquasafe now since she turned 4 and has made excellent progress. I did a bit of research before hand speaking to people and a few people said they had moved their child from other clubs to Aquasafe because of the quality of Adeles teaching. Thoroughly recommend.
Our little boy started his swimming lessons at 3 years old with Adele. He has become so confident in the water and he really enjoys his swimming lessons every week. Adele is an amazing teacher and has worked really well with our little boy who struggles to concentrate at times. We would definitely recommend swimming lessons with Adele.
Both my children swim with Adele at AquaSafe. They both look forward to their weekly lessons. Adele is professional, friendly and the lessons are fun filled. If there is one activity you do with your children after school please make ensure it’s the most important one = swimming, it can save lives!
