Learn to Swim (beginners lessons)

Swimming lessons at Eastbourne Swimming Club are delivered by Swim England-qualified instructors, all of whom are enhanced DBS checked for safeguarding. Many of our teachers are current or former high-level competitive swimmers, bringing with them a deep understanding of swimming technique, skill progression, and the challenges young swimmers may face. This allows them to provide not only expert instruction, but also empathetic support and practical guidance.

At Eastbourne Swimming Club, we believe that smaller class sizes lead to faster, more effective learning. Our swimmers receive high levels of individual attention, ensuring they make the most of every lesson. With our excellent teacher-to-swimmer ratio, your child benefits from focused instruction in a safe and supportive environment.

Our Learn to Swim Programme follows the nationally recognised Swim England Stage Awards, ensuring a structured and progressive pathway from beginner to improver level.

Programme Structure:

• Beginners – Swim England Stages 1 and 2
• Advanced Beginners – Swim England Stages 3 and 4

Whether your child is new to the water or preparing for a competitive path, our Learn to Swim programme provides the foundation for a lifetime of confidence and enjoyment in swimming.
