Lessons at Best Stroke

Children’s & Competition Swimming

It is well known that children pick up new skills and retain the most information when they’re having fun. All of our instructors strive to create an engaging and relaxed environment during lessons.

Confidence & enjoyment are more important than speed of advancement. The correct basic skills acquired early will lead to a highly competent swimmer.

Rookie Lifeguarding

Best Stroke School of Swimming is an approved centre for teaching the Royal Lifesaving Society’s Rookie Lifeguard Programme. It is a fun and educational junior lifeguard award scheme aimed at children aged 8-12.

The programme teaches survival, rescue, life support and water safety skills while developing and maintaining their stroke technique – all delivered in an exciting way making it a great next step in their swimming progression.

Our registered Rookie Lifeguard Instructors are fully qualified RLSS Pool Lifeguards and ASA Level Two Swimming Instructors.

Mixed Adults and Ladies Only

A positive, relaxed environment and an enjoyable social experience. Ladies sessions are staffed by our team of experienced female instructors.

We can accommodate all abilities, those wishing to learn the basics for the first time, swimmers wishing to acquire an additional stroke or develop existing strokes and competent swimmers seeking to improve technique or stamina.

Swimming is not only a vital life-saving skill it is also excellent cardio-vascular exercise, a low-impact sport and a confidence builder.
