Swimming lessons we offer at Porchester Centre

Students can be enrolled at any time throughout the year and you don’t have to be a member of any of our other facilities to enrol.

All of the swimming instructors at Porchester Centre are fully qualified with Swim England or an equivalent accreditation. They are experienced in both teaching children and adults to swim for the very first time and improving your swimming skills to more advanced levels.

Lessons for children and infants

Over 110,000 children learn to swim every year in Everyone Active swimming pools around the country. In London, we offer classes for children and infants beginning at four months old.

Swimming lessons at Porchester Centre follow the Swim England ‘Learn to Swim’ framework, helping kids to achieve National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) awards, as well as other certificates for long-distance swimming.

Classes for infants are designed to encourage simple paddling and confidence in the water, slowly getting babies and toddlers used to being in the water on their own.

One-to-one lessons

As long as group classes, one-to-one swimming child lessons are also available. Our Swim Lessons provide an ideal environment for your child to first gain water confidence, and subsequently develop excellent swimming technique within a structured programme. Anyone can sign up for one-to-one lessons, which are well-suited to those who prefer to learn in a more private environment, feel less confident in the water or who want to focus on a specific skill.

There’s a wide range of classes available, running six days a week, lessons operate 50 weeks a year, ensuring continuous progression and ongoing assessment by our qualified teachers means that students can develop at their own pace.

All teachers will undertake regular Swim England training, to ensure the most up-to-date teaching practices are delivered.
