This question is asked all the time, and it's very difficult to say before seeing you in the water! It will depend on your motivation level, if you find time to practice in between lessons, and general ability/fitness. After 2-3 lessons I will be able to advise on how many lessons you may need to progress to swimming confidently and with good technique.

That depends. If you are already a proficient swimmer looking for training for faster or long distance racing, then no. If you consider your swim level more basic and/or need help with skills like breath control, then yes.

Please sign up online and I will be in touch to discuss upcoming availability. There is no online booking system as timetabling changes very frequently based on client bookings.
