for Every Stage of Life

From swimming lessons and parent & baby classes to SEND sessions, junior lifeguard training, musical hydrotherapy and pool parties, there's something for every age and ability.

At Swim Odyssey, we believe swimming is about so much more than learning a life skill. It’s about building confidence, creating positive experiences and helping every swimmer feel safe, supported and proud of themselves in the water. From your baby's first splash to advanced swimmers, SEND lessons, junior lifeguard training and musical hydrotherapy, we'll help you or your child build confidence in the water.

PEACE OF MIND

Parent Questions

Starting swimming lessons is an exciting milestone, but we understand it can also come with lots of questions. Here are some of the things parents ask us most often. If you need any extra support or guidance, our friendly team is always just a message away.

My child is nervous in the water. Can they still join?

Absolutely. Many of our swimmers start feeling nervous or unsure around water, and helping children build confidence is one of the things we pride ourselves on most. Our supportive teachers, small class sizes and calm teaching approach help swimmers progress at their own pace in a safe and encouraging environment.

Can I change my time slot?

We understand family schedules can be unpredictable. You can request a time slot change through our parent portal, subject to availability in other classes at the same level.

What do we bring?

Just bring a well-fitting swimsuit, a towel, and goggles if your child prefers them. We provide all the necessary floats and teaching aids!

Do I need to be in the water with them?

For our independent classes (typically ages 3 and up), you can relax on the side! We only require a parent in the water for our baby and toddler classes.

What if they miss a lesson?

If your child is unwell, please let us know beforehand. We offer a flexible make-up policy where you can catch up on a missed lesson within the same term, subject to availability.

Do you offer swimming lessons for children with additional needs?

Yes. We are proud to be a SEND specialist swim school with experience supporting a wide range of additional needs and disabilities. We offer inclusive group lessons, private sessions and specialist musical hydrotherapy sessions designed to help swimmers feel comfortable, regulated and confident in the water.

Not Sure Which Class Is Right?

With so many different classes available, choosing the right one isn't always easy. Tell us a little about you or your swimmer and our friendly team will recommend the most suitable options based on age, ability and what you'd like to achieve.

What do our parents say about us?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Coral’s swimming lessons have been amazing, we have seen the progress from week to week and it has made such a huge difference in her confidence on holiday this year too. She started as a beginner age 3 and is now confidently swimming with googles and no arm bands.

I would highly recommend Swim Odyssey classes to anyone - absolutely faultless and the staff have all been both friendly and professional.."
