Learning to swim is one of the biggest milestones of your child’s early years, with most of us able to remember the first time we swam independently and the sense of achievement we felt. This is the feeling that awaits your little one as they begin their journey on our Learn 2 Swim programme.
The Active Blackpool swimming lessons run for 50 weeks a year with 2 weeks off over Christmas and New Year.
Active Blackpool offer swimming lessons for all ages and offers parents free access to the most up to date home portal system that allows you to:

- See badges that have been awarded
- When your child is ready to move up to the next stage you can choose the next class day time and teacher online from the comfort of your own home

Discovery Ducklings - Parent and child classes
These classes are aimed at giving your child their first experience of the water, along with your guidance. That introduction is provided through songs, games and support and it aims to promote water confidence, alongside offering a social environment for both parents and children.
If you're looking for baby swimming lessons, our Discovery Ducklings programme is designed for little ones to get used to the water. If they're ready to be a bit more independent, our Ducklings programme will help them move more on their own whilst still having you there with them.
The Swim England Pre-School Framework is the first stage of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. It promotes early water confidence and basic motor skills and underpins Learn to Swim Stages 1 to 7. It is linked to the Early Years Foundation Curriculum for Child Development and is delivered in a fun, friendly environment.
Discover Duckling Classes
Looking for swimming lessons for you and your baby? Our Discovery Ducklings programme is suitable for little ones aged 0 to 24 months. (Age range is for guidance only).
This programme is for babies from birth with limited or no coordination through to little ones who are water confident and able to move independently. The programme is designed to be a gentle, fun and secure way for young children be introduced to the swimming environment to develop water confidence.
