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.

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:

  • Monitor your child's progress against the national award outcomes
  • 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

Active Blackpool Learn 2 swim school stages 1 to 7

Is your child ready to dive into swimming lessons? The Swim England Learn to Swim Framework (Learn to Swim Stages 1 to 7) is part of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. The all inclusive programme which takes the non-swimmer from his or her first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water.

Stages 1 to 7 are suitable for school-age children with no previous swimming experience. If your child has had swimming lessons before, they may join Active Blackpool Learn 2 Swim School at a higher stage. Babies and children under 5 will love our Discovery and Duckling programme.

  • Stage 3

    If your child can swim five metres on their front and back unaided, then they’ll need to enrol in our Stage 3 lessons. Here, they’ll be taught towards the end goal of being able to swim unaided for 10 m on both their front and back. They’ll be supported on this journey by being introduced to aquatic breathing and different types of aquatic mobility.

  • Stage 5

    Once your child can swim 50 m on their front and back, then it’s time they enrol in the fifth stage of our learn-to-swim programme. This stage will begin to develop your child’s stroke technique to a higher standard over longer distances whilst incorporating water safety techniques, making them even more confident and safe in and around the water.
