Our Swim School is one of the largest in Cornwall, offering supportive and structured environment where children can build confidence and develop essential swimming skills. Led by highly experienced, qualified teachers, and lessons provide a great foundation for swimmers of all abilities.
We run group lessons everyday during term-time, starting from as young as 3 months old, with a clear progression pathway.
Pre-school lessons: - AquaBabies 0-18 months - Aqualots 18 months - 3 years - TinyTots 3-4 years
School-Age Stages: Stage 1 Seahorses (Approx 4-7 Years) Stage 2 Penguins Stage 3 Polar Bears Stage 4 Seals Stage 5 Dolphins Stage 6 Whales Stage 7 Sharks
Children who are already able to swim 10 metres will be assessed to ensure they are placed in the most suitable stage. In addition to group lessons we also offer:
One to one lessons - perfect for swimmers of all ages to improve technique, stamina and confidence.
RLSS Rookie Lifeguard - a fun and educational course offering children the opportunity to learn lifesaving skills with full qualified instructors. If you would like to find out more about our Swim School or other swim lessons here at Carn Brea please see our FAQ
