Why should we all learn to swim?Learning to swim is not only a great way for you to have fun in water – it also saves lives and opens doors to many other watersports. We are passionate about the opportunities that being able to swim brings and would like to share it with you.
Trust the experts at the Fit&Well Swim SchoolWe regularly move our members through the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) Learn to Swim pathway in advance of ASA guidelines because our method of teaching employs a number of different learning styles specific to individual needs. This professional approach enables our swimmers to make continual progress, giving a sense of achievement as well as enhancing self-esteem, generating self-belief and boosting confidence.

Swimming as exerciseSwimming is a great introductory sport – it can open doors to canoeing, sailing, water polo, wake boarding, rafting, body boarding and surfing to name a few.
It boosts lung capacity and teaches proper breathing techniques.
Swimming puts the body through a broad range of motion that helps joints and ligaments stay loose and flexible as well increasing bone strength.
It also allows you to be mobile without the stress or impact of full body weight on joints.
