Swimming Lessons in Norfolk for All Ages & Abilities

Swimming lessons in Norfolk are a valuable activity for any family with children. Few skills are more important than learning how to survive in the water and what to do in an emergency. A child must know how to direct themselves to the water’s surface, float, and call for help or swim to safety.

It’s never too early to introduce your children to the water. Most swim schools offer water acclimation programs for children as young as 3 to 6-months. While the youngest children may not be ready to swim independently, confident kids learn more quickly than those who are initially afraid of the water. Children develop at different rates, but most are ready for formal instruction between the ages of 1 – 4.

Learning to swim takes time, and it’s important to remember that the goal is water safety. We recommend year-round programs that allow you to continue learning until you’ve achieved your goals. Starting and stopping can slow your progress and extend the path to proficiency.

We want everyone to join in the fun and receive the benefits swimming offers!

Our Approach to Swimming Lessons in Norfolk

At British Swim School, we offer a range of swimming lessons for people of all ages and abilities—from gentle water acclimation classes to advanced stroke development lessons. Our confidence-building curriculum helps timid swimmers build confidence as they develop safe habits and master the main swimming strokes. All our class sizes are small, guaranteeing that each child will receive the focused attention of their instructor throughout the lesson.

Our program has three levels and improves safety every step of the way. If it’s their first time in a program, we begin by building a swimmer’s confidence in a gentle and supportive environment. Then, they are introduced to foundational safety and swimming skills. And finally, swimmers continue to practice the safety skills taught at previous levels while learning the four competitive swimming strokes.
