Active Swim School

Living on an island like Jersey, it's so important our children learn to swim, and your children will be in safe hands at the Active Swim School.

The Active Swim School follows Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. It is the leading national teaching syllabus for delivering safe, inclusive and effective swimming lessons for all ages.

The structured and progressive content is based on a games-led approach to ensure children enjoy learning. And with a bright new range of badges and certificates, the Programme provides motivation and support for children at every level – from their first splash to gaining their enhanced aquatic skills.

To pay monthly on Direct Debit is great value, and if you and your child are Active members you will benefit from a further 10% discount. In addition, we also offer one to one sessions and one to two sessions (subject to availability)
