Halesowen Leisure Centre - Swimming Lessons
A range of swimming lessons takes place during term-time in the safe environment of the two pools. All instructors are fully qualified, experienced swimming teachers, who constantly encourage and help in the water to reassure all nervous children and swimmers. Adult lessons are available on Tuesday evenings. Lessons for those over 50 are available on Wednesday lunch time.
Children can start lessons when they are 3 years old, progressing from total beginner stage through Improvers to more advanced levels. The Centre also offers Life Saving classes should your child wish to progress further.
Due to the popularity and the success of the Swimming Lesson Programme at the Halesowen Leisure Centre, a waiting list is often in operation for lessons.
