Alleyn’s School 
Alleyn's Swim School offers regular Saturday morning swimming lessons.
Lessons take place in the school’s 25-metre pool and are led by specialist instructors. They are suitable for children aged five and above.
Each session lasts 30 minutes. Class sizes range from six to twelve pupils per teacher, allowing for plenty of individual attention. Group sizes may vary in the higher ability levels.
Instructors accompany most groups in the water, with an assistant present in some lessons, creating a warm, friendly and enjoyable environment for children to develop their skills.
Our courses are open to all members of the community.
Termly places are initially offered to swimmers already enrolled, to support continuity and their progression. Any remaining spaces are then released on a first come, first served basis.
As children advance through the levels, they will be able to progress to our Monday evening lessons, which are designed for swimmers who have completed Swim England Stage 7.
