Children's Swimming Lessons

Yes, Swim Central uses a padlock system for our lockers. You can bring your own padlock or purchase one on-site for £4.99.
Please note that if you choose to leave your belongings in an unlocked locker, you do so at your own risk.

The pool measures 20m by 7m and has a constant depth of 1.3m.

Our swimming lessons are priced at £60 per month, which includes one 30-minute lesson per week at the same time each week during your chosen time slot.

We also offer private lessons for £160 per 30-minute session if you prefer individual attention or have specific goals.

We understand that children can sometimes fall ill unexpectedly. If your child is unwell and needs to miss a swimming lesson, please inform us as soon as possible via phone or email. While we do not offer make-up lessons for missed classes, we appreciate you letting us know so we can plan accordingly.

If your child is unwell with a contagious illness, we kindly ask that you keep them home to avoid spreading it to other swimmers.

Yes, we have a comfortable viewing gallery where parents, family, and friends can relax and watch their loved ones learn and progress in the water. Younger siblings can also attend but they must be accompanied by an adult if under 12 years old.

Each swimming lesson at Swim Central is 30 minutes long. This intensive session allows for focused attention from our instructors and ample time for you to practice and refine your skills. Lessons are held weekly at the same time each week during your chosen time slot, making it easy to incorporate swimming into your routine. The cost for our weekly 30-minute lessons is £60 per month.

To make the most of your swim lesson at Swim Central, we recommend bringing a swimsuit, a large towel, goggles if required, your preferred shower supplies, and a change of clothes. We have hair dryers available in the changing rooms for use free of charge and secure lockers.

Babies and toddlers will also need a swim diaper (reusable or disposable).

Swim Central will provide any equipment such as floats and armbands during the lesson and we have a small store for customers to purchase any additional items they require at the front desk.

We offer lessons for adults of all ages and abilities

• Babies (6 months and up): Our baby swim lessons focus on water acclimation, basic safety skills, and bonding with parents in a gentle and playful environment.
• Children: Our children’s lessons follow a structured Learn to Swim program that teaches essential water safety skills, stroke development, and builds confidence in the water.
• Adults: We offer adult lessons for all levels, from beginners who have never been in the water before to experienced swimmers looking to refine their technique or learn new strokes.

Your child does not need a formal assessment before booking a lesson. You can use our Swim Stage Checker tool on the website to get an idea of which stage would be most suitable for your child. However, if you’re unsure, feel free to book them into a class, and our experienced instructors will assess their ability during the first lesson. We can then easily move your child to a more appropriate class if needed.

Yes, we have a free car park on Fulwood Central. It gives you 2.5hrs but if you need longer just leave your registration plate number with reception!

We keep the pool heated at 30 degrees.

Yes, are teachers are trained to work with children with disabilities. However, we don’t currently offer disability-specific sessions. Get in touch with us to give us more details to see how we can support them as best we can.

Our online booking system will show how many spaces are available for each of our classes. You can add your details to the waiting list, and this will notify you by email when a space comes available.

We understand that circumstances can change. If you need to cancel your swim lessons, we require notice of one full payment cycle. This ensures that we can adjust our class schedules and offer your spot to someone on our waiting list.

E.G: Your billing date is the 1st of the month. If you cancel on March 28th, your lessons will continue until the end of March. Your final payment will be taken on April 1st, and your cancellation will be effective from May 1st onwards.

Payment for all swimming lessons at Swim Central is conveniently handled through a monthly direct debit system. You can easily set up your direct debit payment securely through our website when you register for your chosen class and time slot. The monthly fee covers your weekly 30-minute lesson, ensuring a hassle-free experience so you can focus on enjoying your time in the water.

In the rare event that Swim Central needs to cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., pool maintenance, instructor illness), we will notify you as soon as possible via email or phone. You will have the option to reschedule your lesson for another time or receive a credit towards a future lesson. We understand the importance of consistency in learning to swim and strive to minimise any disruptions to your schedule.

Unfortunately not, due to sharing classes with others we ask for no photography or videos.
