How can I book my child into swimming lessons?

You can book online using the links above or feel free to reach out to your preferred centre.

How long is each lesson?

Lessons for stages 1 – 7 are 30 minutes long, whilst stages 8 – 10 last for 45 minutes.

Can my child move midterm?

Our Brio Learn 2 Swim Team will advise you when your child is ready to move. If they complete the criteria of a stage midterm, we will always aim to move them as long as space is available.

Why does my child need an induction?

An induction helps us see how confident your child is in the water so we can make sure they’re in the right class for their level. We understand that starting swimming lessons can seem scary, so if your child is a non-swimmer, they will find out where their lessons take place and see the equipment they will use. We also make sure that Mum, Dad and/ or guardians are given some health and safety information, too.

Is there somewhere for me to watch my child swim?

Of course! All of our pools have viewing areas.

Can I choose a specific teacher?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to request a specific teacher.

How long will it take to achieve a stage?

Every child progresses at their own pace. We will move them up when they have achieved all the criteria within a stage.
