Adult Classes

The BHSC Adult Learn to Swim programme mirrors the same technical standards and progression principles used in our junior pathway, adapted for adult learners.

Adults are grouped by ability and confidence level, not experience labels, allowing each swimmer to progress at a pace that feels comfortable and achievable.

Class Focus

Depending on level, sessions focus on:

• Water confidence and breath control

• Efficient body position and balance

• Stroke technique and coordination

• Endurance and swim fitness

• Refinement and correction of inefficient habits

Assessment & Progression

• Adults are informally assessed throughout the term

• Progression is guided by technical readiness and confidence, not pressure or speed

• Instruction is tailored to individual goals, whether that is:

  • Learning to swim independently

  • Improving technique

  • Swimming for fitness and wellbeing

Our adult programme prioritises confidence, control, and enjoyment, within a structured and supportive environment.
