Children's One to One Swimming Lessons
For those aged 3yrs to 12yrs
£25.00 per 30 Minute Lesson - Starting either on the hour or on the half hour.
For the holidays we are offering a number of private lessons for children, on a one to one basis with a teacher. The lessons will allow for targeted tuition based around your child's current experience and achievements to date. Our teachers will focus on water confidence, breathing techniques, and skill development.
Our swimmers are asked to arrive at the lesson no sooner than 5 minutes before the lessons begins, arriving 'swim ready' with day clothes on over swimmers. Showers and changing facilities are available for after your lesson.
Please note the lessons are for ONE child, delivered by One Teacher. Silblings/friends are not permitted in the swimming pool whilst the lessons take place as they do provide a distraction for the teacher and child being taught.
If you do wish to discuss a One to Two lesson, so one teacher and two children learning to swim , then please e mail leisure@monkton.org.uk and we try our best to accomodate your request, there will be extra charge of £10.00 per session.
