Learn To Swim Stages 1-7

Our swimming lessons follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, helping children progress from their first independent swims through to confident, capable swimming.

Stage 1: Building water confidence, independence and basic swimming skills.

Stage 2: Developing floating, propulsion and breathing control.

Stage 3: Improving coordination and introducing stronger swimming movements.

Stages 4-7: Refining technique, building stamina, water safety and all four competitive strokes.

Every child progresses at their own pace, and our small class sizes allow teachers to provide regular feedback and support throughout their swimming journey.

  • "Two of my children have now had lessons with Tiny Swimming and have loved every moment. Fun activities every week and amazing teachers that helped my girls feel confident in the water from the start."

  • "Incredible!!! My children have been swimming with Tiny Swimming for the last year and a bit, my only regret is not finding them sooner. My oldest first lesson, she screamed and refused to get in but her teacher was patient and when the next lesson came around she got straight in and every week since she has grown in confidence. This is a testament to the ethos of Tiny Swimming and the child centred lessons that they provide. I recommend Tiny Swimming to everyone I meet!"

  • "Honestly the best swimming lessons for my little boy, he has grown in confidence and ability. All the swimming teachers have been so kind and patient and couldn't ask for a better start to his swimming journey."

  • "Tiny swimming lessons are brilliant. A great way to build water confidence for your little one. The classes are different themes each week and the teacher is really inclusive and makes each lesson fun! Couldn’t recommend more!"
