BEGINNER SWIM COURSES
Our adult beginner courses take place Sundays, 11 - 12pm, in a heated 25m swimming pool between October and Easter each year. Choose from two courses, depending on your needs and current level.
WATER CONFIDENCE
For complete beginners
These 3-week courses teach adults vital skills in water safety, including keeping afloat in deep water, confidence to submerge faces, safe entry and exit from the water, and developing the initial techniques of body position and balance in the water needed for swimming for front crawl.
The course is suitable for people who haven't done much swimming before and see swimming for fitness and adventure in their future.
If you're unsure whether this course is for you, particularly if you have high levels of anxiety around being in water, please chat to us.
LEARN FRONT CRAWL
For those who already swim
These 5-week courses take adults who may have some experience of the front crawl stroke, or are learning the stroke for the first time i.e. progressing from breaststroke, through in-depth teaching and practice.
Understand the theory, build the technique, and develop the fitness as you work with our experienced swim teachers in an engaging and inclusive environment.
By the end of the course, you can choose to join Strive weekly Swim Fit sessions, or join our open water sessions in the summer season.
