Swimming lessons in Halifax, for babies, children and adults
Every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe and confident in the water. We teach from twelve weeks old to grown up, in a warm pool at Ogden Hall, with teachers in the water beside every class.
Not sure where to start? Answer three questions and we'll point you at the right class.
What we teach
Four things most people come to us for. There's more besides.
Baby & toddler swimming
12 weeks to 4 years
In the water with you, from twelve weeks old.
£11 — per lesson
Children's swimming lessons
From 4 years
Levels 1 to 8. Small classes, a teacher in the water with them, and water safety taught alongside the swimming.
£11 — per lesson
One-to-one lessons
One to one, built round you. For adults who never learned, and for anyone who wants to swim better.
£25 — one to one, 30 minutes
Aquacise
From 16 years
Fitness in the warm water, and a proper social. You don't need to be able to swim.
£7 — per session
Two things worth knowing about how we teach
Our teachers get in the water with the children. In it, at your child's height, close enough to catch a wobble before it turns into a fright. Children settle faster when somebody's right there with them.
And we count progress properly. The national curriculum marks swimming as pass or fail at 25 metres, so a child who couldn't swim a stroke in September and can now manage fifteen metres has, officially, done nothing. We record every five metres, and every one of them counts.
You'll know how they're getting on
Regular written feedback, not a shrug at the poolside.
You get it in writing: what your child can do now, and what they're working on next. So you're not guessing between badges, or catching a teacher on the way out to find out how it's going.
Pay four weeks at a time
You pay in four-week blocks, not a whole term up front.
You always pay for four lessons. The Easter and Christmas blocks run over more weeks because we're closed for part of them — you're never charged for a week the pool is shut.

Aquatic Health & Wellness Experience
Ninety minutes on a floating bed in the warm pool, a sound bath played around and above you, and nothing at all asked of you. You don't need to be able to swim, and you don't need a swimming costume.
£40 per person. Our first sessions sold out in two days — leave your email and we'll tell you when the next dates go up.
