When does the Learn to Swim program run?
The program runs continuously from mid-January to mid-December each year and suspension or make-up sessions may be available for family holidays or illness. Children will receive certificates of achievement as they progress through different awards and stages.

It is extremely rare to find a club that offers a gym, exercise classes, swimming pools (inside and outside) and racquet sports. The major bonus of this club is the excellent onsite crèche which has allowed me to workout, without it, this would have been impossible as I have a toddler.
