Our Learn to Swim classes have up to 4 swimmers per class. Our Swim Academy has up to 6 swimmers per session.

Our swimming lessons are designed to help swimmers of all levels progress at their own pace. We cannot give an exact number of lessons, as every individual is different. However, at Instant Swim School we only run small group classes (max 4 swimmers per class) or 1:1/2:1 lessons. This is because we believe students learn faster when they receive more teacher attention.

Our experienced instructors are committed to providing the best teaching methods to ensure swimmers learn, grow, and enjoy the process. Find out more by following us on our social media channels!

The UK National School Curriculum requires children to be able to swim 25 metres and perform a self rescue by the end of Year 6.

At Instant Swim School, we would recommend reaching the end of our Learn to Swim programme. Which is Stage 6. By this stage we believe swimmers are safe in the water and have achieved a good level of technique and stamina. The criteria can be viewed here.

We encourage swimmers from Stage 4 & up to look into joining our Swim Academy to progress their skills even further! This runs on a Saturday afternoon at Cobham Hall, contact us today to join or book a trial.

Once your swimmer has reached Stage 4, they are ready to progress to our Swim Academy. Here we teach swimmers how to dive, tumble turn, tread water and take part in relay races.

At this stage, swimmers are also ready to go for a swimming club trial. This is where they are able to begin racing and training as a team. There are also other options including synchronised swimming, water polo and lifesaving. If you are interested in joining a club, please get in touch with us today!
