Learn to Swim at Clayesmore 
Jump in and start your child’s swimming journey with confidence at Clayesmore Sports Centre! Our expert team of passionate swim teachers follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, a nationally recognised programme designed to guide children through seven progressive stages. These stages form the core syllabus for primary school-aged swimmers, focusing on building essential aquatic skills that help your child become confident, capable, and safe in the water — all while having fun!

Whether your child is a complete beginner or already making waves, we have something for every young swimmer.

Ready for More? Take It to the Next Level!
For swimmers who have completed Stage 7 and want to keep progressing — without the pressure of competitive swim clubs — our Development Academy offers the perfect opportunity to build strength, technique, and stamina in a fun, supportive environment.

Become a Rookie Lifeguard!
Is your child aged 8–13 and swimming at Stage 5 or above? The Rookie Lifeguard Programme is an exciting way to learn lifesaving skills including survival, rescue techniques, first aid, sports skills, and water safety. It’s a fantastic way to build confidence and learn essential life skills — all while staying active and making new friends.

Dive in with us at Clayesmore – where every splash counts!
