We are going to be redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool will be closed and showers will be unavailable for a time. Work starts on Monday 4 November and is planned to finish by Saturday 21 December 2024. You can read more about the SWFLC improvement works and what it means for you. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Adult swimming lessons at SWFLC

Whether you are a complete beginner and would like water confidence, or whether you are trying to perfect your technique, our adults only lessons will suit you.
Our Swim School lessons run every week during term time, for 45 minutes per lesson. You will be in a small, friendly class of adults with a similar ability. Our expert teachers will guide you through your lessons, while you make new friends in a community environment.

Lessons are on Tuesdays from:
