Our Programmes

We believe that learning to swim should be an enjoyable experience within a pleasant and safe environment. Registered as a Swim England swim school, we offer a wide variety of Swimming Lessons for all ages and abilities operating Swim Englands Learn to Swim Pathway. We are made up of Swim England and STA qualified instructors, all of whom have been carefully selected & DBS checked.

Baby Aquatots Swimming & Accompanied pre-school

Start classes with your baby from 6 months!

When you introduce your baby to swimming early, it prepares them to be confident Swimmers later in life. Swimming is a natural experience for babies, and Swimbrite planned activities will achieve much more than just letting your baby splash about!

You’re a vital part of the learning process!

We offer 30-minute classes with up to twelve baby/parent couples in a pool whose ambient temperature averages 29° C. We are teaching you how to teach your baby to swim and you will play a vital part in their love of swimming and the water.

Progression between these stages will not only be dependent on baby’s age and development but also on the effective application of our modules and use of progressive practices in our classes. Your teacher will advise you when your baby is ready for the next step.

What Will Your Baby/Tot Learn?

Learning to swim as a baby will teach your child to be wonderfully confident in the water. Teaching your baby to swim is one of life’s true pleasures. It is an activity that plays a great part in the bonding process between the parent and child.

Your babies instruction to water, from the very first bath to the first visit to the pool should be one of fun and happiness. This is what your baby will learn in our aqua tots sessions through song, play and basic instruction. We teach the parents how to hold their babies in the water and how to give them the ‘confidence factor’.

Building bonds through water play

As you reassure and guide your baby through our lesson activities, it will strengthen the bond between you. The lessons are very sociable and will give you the opportunity to make new friends together.

Helping your baby develop physically and mentally

Our instructors teach in the pool using natural buoyancy to improve your baby’s co-ordination and balance, develop muscle control and strengthen their heart and lungs. Progressive exercises encourage them to move independently, hold onto the side and boost their confidence in the water. But more than that, our unique Swimbrite programme also uses words, symbols, sounds and gestures – teaching your baby to respond to commands which can help facilitate mental alertness and improve their level of understanding. Fun activities stimulate their memory, problem solving and abstract thinking.

Children
Group & Private Lessons

Start at the right level for you

Whatever your age or swimming ability, our fun and motivational classes teach you how, why and what you should be doing in the water. Our friendly teachers train you in the pool as you adapt to the water, learn to float, and swim. You’ll learn to relax, control your breathing and see how the right movement generates effortless swimming.

We pride ourselves on personally training children to swim in our 6:1 ratio group lessons from Foundation to Learn to swim Stage 3 and 8:1 for Learn to swim Stage 4 and above. We offer private lessons on a 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 ratio. You can join the programme at any point from the age of 3 where you will be booked according to which level you are on our programme. In a nutshell, our programme is based on the principles of relaxation and floatation and delivered by trained Swimming teachers. Whether you’re a beginner or an improver we’ll teach you how to swim the correct strokes until you’re swimming with confidence and eventually improving your lap times too!

Our classes are 30 minutes or 1 hour for the more advanced Swimmers.

Adults
Beginners to Masters

Personal training … in the pool

Swimbrite for Adults is an intensive but patient teaching programme tailored to your needs. We can teach anyone to swim from scratch or improve your swimming to a level where you are a strong and confident swimmer, swimming for fitness.

Same method, Same mechanics

As an adult you want to learn fast, so we’ve tailored our programmes and our expert instructors to deliver the results you want quickly. Whilst the mechanics and methods remain the same, the design of the programme is innovative.

You learn what to do and come to understand the mechanics and different exercise (drills), aiming for rather shorter distances to maximise your sense of achievement.

Your teacher will work through a set of lesson plans as you learn to swim and improve your strokes.

Schools & Nurseries

Who is it for?

It’s a great way of extending services especially for those pre-school children who are in day care whilst their parents are out at work and are too busy to take their children swimming.

If any nurserys or schools are interested in bringing their children to us or hiring our instructors, please email enquiries@swimbriteswimmingschool.co.uk and I will make an appointment to come and visit you.

Swimming Coaching
Competitive & Non-Competitive

Who is it for?

Here’s a quick way to get ahead in the pool. The Grammar School at Leeds and Woodhouse Grove are great venues for advanced Swimmers. We hire the whole pool – 6 lanes and diving blocks!

Schedule:

Wednesday and Thursday 7:45pm – 8:45pm at The Grammar School at Leeds.

Fridays 6.15-8.15pm, Saturdays 11.30-5.30pm, Sundays 3.30-6pm at Woodhouse Grove School

Crash Course
Swimming Lessons

We offer both beginner and intermediate crash course group and private lessons during the School holidays Monday – Friday at The Village Hotel Headingley. The benefits of swimming daily are shown to be huge and major improvements can be made by joining a week intense course. Whether the improvement is water confidence or stroke and skill development.

The private lessons can be booked on a 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. As the private lessons are tailored to the individual – these sessions are the perfect opportunity to work on a specific stroke or skill your child may be struggling with in their current swim lessons.

Swimming Lessons during the school holidays can be booked daily or on an adhoc basis.

Rookie Lifeguarding

This is the best skill anyone can learn, learning to save lives both in and out of the water.

If your children are budding lifeguards, then the Rookie Lifeguard Award developed by the
Royal Lifesaving Society UK in conjunction with the Amateur Swimming Association and the Learn To Swim Programme, should be just what you are looking for.

As well as offering parents the comfort of knowing their children are aware the dangers of swimming in open water, the Bronze, Silver and Gold stage awards ensure children have a solid safety education, and have learned rescue and resuscitation techniques.

Holiday Camps

We offer our holiday camps in every half term as well as 2 weeks over summer at the Village Hotel – Headingley for ages 5+.

There are options for:
Half Day 9-12pm
Full Day 9-4pm
Extra Hours 8-9am and 4 -5.30pm

The day will start with a morning swimming lesson with our STA and Swim England instructors. The swimming groups will be based on ability in order to best support each child’s needs. Once changed we start the icebreaker games in order to help the children to get to know each other and then into some fun active games to get them running around and having lots of fun.

The full day attendees tuck into some well deserved lunch. The afternoon is an opportunity for your child to explore their imaginative and creative side with some planned arts and crafts activities. There will also be an opportunity for those who may not feel like doing arts and crafts to play some sports.

We then return to the pool for a pool fun session where your children will have time to continue building their confidence through water play, our staff will be located both in and on poolside to help keep a super safe environment. It is then time to get changed and ready for home time.

For those on extra hours this becomes a more chilled session after an extremely active day where the children will have the option of movie time, continuing arts and crafts or board games.

We also offer themes days during both the October and April holidays with more seasonal themed activities include face painting and fancy dress at Halloween and Easter Hunts during our Easter Camp.

It is a perfect opportunity for your child to have lots of fun and stay active whilst making lots of friends as well as improve their ability in the pool.
