Swimming Lessons
Swimming is an important life skill, and swimming lessons are the perfect way to ensure you and your family are confident and safe in the water. Our swimming lessons follow the Welsh Learn to Swim programme and have been running successfully for many years. All our instructors are ASA qualified and DBS checked so you can be confident you and your family are in safe and experienced hands.
All swimming lessons must be booked in advance and paid for via Direct Debit. A current MonLife Active membership card will be required to book swimming lessons. There is no pay as you go option.
Simply contact your local leisure centre directly to discuss availability. If you were on the waiting list prior to the review, you will still be contacted when a space becomes available in your chosen swimming lesson. You can also keep up to date via our social media channels, website or by contacting your local leisure centre!
Aimed at ages 0-3
Bubbles offers a fully supported introduction to the aquatic environment for babies and young children with an accompanying adult.
The program has 4 levels where aquatic skills are gradually developed. Adults are trained to support their children through games, songs, and themed activities, ensuring a fun and educational experience.
Aimed at ages 3+
Splash is designed to encourage children to swim independently and explore the aquatic environment under guidance, building their water confidence.
The program consists of 6 levels, with skills progressively developing at each stage. As children advance, they gain more independence in the water through guided discovery and playful activities.
Aimed at ages 4-5
The Waves program consists of 8 levels. Levels 1 to 7 teach essential swimming and water safety skills such as swimming in clothes, treading water, and swimming without goggles. Children will also take part in numerous aquatic activities such as Rookie Lifesaving and Water Polo.
Wave 8 then provides a multi-aquatic experience, serving as an introduction to various aquatic sports or a way to stay active in the water.
Child Lessons
Our Swim School lessons are run on a continual 50-week programme. Depending on the ‘wave’ of the class, lesson duration is between 30 and 45 minutes.
Please contact your local leisure centre to discuss the current Child Lesson programme and availability.
