After School

Lessons for school-age children (4½ years plus) take place after school during the week and on Saturday mornings, catering for complete beginners to advanced swimmers.  These structured swimming lessons follow the AquaQuack swimming scheme and children are able to work towards certificates and badges.

These lessons are available to both Members and Non Members and are bookable on a termly basis.  Priority booking is given to Bluecoat Sports Members and siblings of children who are currently being taught in the swim school.  As we are a dual use facility, sharing the pool with Christ's Hospital School, our swim school times do vary from term to term.

After finishing the Aquaquack syllabus, children may like to continue swimming and there are three options:

Rookie Lifesaving

Children must be 8+ years old and be confident in the water.
