about our swimming lessons 

Our children’s swimming lessons begin from the age of four and include classes for all levels, from beginners to advanced. 

 Lessons are given by our qualified, fully certified instructors who provide a fully structured approach to your children’s progression. 

 Besides developing stroke methods and technique, our kid’s swimming lessons are all about water confidence and safety.  

 We want the kids learning to swim in Tameside to have a skill for life, that will be there for them to use whenever they want or need it. 

 For those enthusiastic and able swimmers, there is potential to progress to our Swim Academy, which is the next step for those who have completed the Active Tameside Swim School framework. 

what will my child learn?

Our Swim School teaches a wide range of skills to create competent, confident swimmers, providing a solid foundation to develop stamina and technique. 

From the beginning, we introduce water safety. It’s a key part of all our swimming lessons as we want to make sure your child develops good habits in the water. 

Our lessons also include building water confidence, learning to float and breathing techniques. You can’t swim without these three essentials, so they are built into our beginner’s lessons. 

As your child’s confidence in the water grows, they will learn all sorts of swimming strokes and techniques and, eventually, they will be able to swim longer distances. 

At every level your child progresses, their sense of achievement will grow too.

My family experienced the Hyper Bowling last week. My children absolutely loved it and wouldn’t stop talking about it, it was such great fun & good how any age can win. I was impressed by the price and how clean everywhere was…

Lee Napier

The staff! I’d still use Active Hyde’s gym if the facilities were rubbish and the price was high. There is always a cheerful person on hand to provide help and advice, both on site and on the phone.

Mark

10/10 great facilities and location. Excellent instructors and friendly staff.

Janet

The gym and reception staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to assist… I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere that caters to all ages and abilities.

Mary Heaney

I am grateful to the staff at Tameside Wellness Centre for understanding my difficulties, especially since they are invisible. But believing and supporting and being kind to me has made me more determined to continue with my passion for life and remaining active as best as I can…
