What is Distance Week?
Distance Week runs between 16-22nd March and is all about giving children* a fun, motivating challenge that celebrates their progress in the pool.
The week‑long challenge is open to every child in our swimming lessons, whether they’re already with us or starting soon.
Plus, we'll be offering 25% off selected Zoggs products for anyone who participates!**
What’s the benefit?
During Distance Week, children have the chance to work towards distance badges and certificates**, which can boost their confidence in the pool and motivate them to keep learning. There’s nothing better than seeing your child progress and celebrate with a big smile on their face!
Our Distance Week focuses on each swimmer achieving a distance that aligns with the stage they are currently working towards, following the Swim England Learn to Swim pathway. Each distance is carefully matched to their ability so every child can experience success without being overstretched. The emphasis remains on strong, safe and efficient swimming technique, helping every swimmer progress confidently—whatever their long‑term goals in the water.
Once your child is signed up to swimming lessons at one of our pools, they can get involved in swim sessions outside of lesson time at no extra cost. You can learn more about our Free Swimming initiative below.
How can I get my child involved?
There’s no need to sign your child up, all they need to do is turn up to their swimming lesson as usual! If you wish to buy a badge or certificate on the day of their lesson, you will need a method of payment.
*Between 0-17 years of age.
**T&Cs apply. See in store for full details.
***Distance badges and certificates are available to buy at reception. Please bring a method of payment with you.
