Swimming lessons
At Places Leisure, swimming lessons aren’t just about strokes and technique. They’re about growing confidence, learning skills for life, and discovering the joy of moving through the water.
From little ones finding their confidence, to adults looking for a new way to stay active, to holiday intensives that help kids progress faster – Swim Happy lessons keep everyone motivated, smiling, and full of energy.
Fully developed by British Gymnastics, our action-packed Gymnastics programme provides students with a fun and progressive journey. Gymnasts will experience an immersive, creative, and exciting programme, moving at their own pace. Gymnastics helps to build strong, healthy muscles and bones, and increases flexibility, balance, and coordination as well as discipline, self-esteem, and social skills.
