Learn life skills with Adult & Child swimming lessons
Your child’s first swimming lesson is one of their most important early experiences. It can be very exciting, but nerve-wracking at the same time! It will capture and retain their interest in swimming, help you build strong connections, and give them water confidence and lifelong aquatic skills.
At Mighty Splash Swim School, we set the tone from the moment we meet you and your little sidekick, ensuring their first experience in our pool is positive, safe and fun.
Our small adult and child classes are easy to book online and delivered by exceptional teachers who genuinely care. We are experts in helping even the most nervous swimmers to find their confidence, turning water apprehension into aquatic adventures!
Our adult and child programme is an exciting series of seven progressive awards. The lessons are specifically designed to teach basic swimming and water safety skills for learners aged 2 to 3 years of age, swimming with an accompanying adult.
The programme concludes with the STAnley Star Award, which celebrates all the skills your child has learned so far, as well as marking their confidence and competence by demonstrating their skills without their adult in the water.
Give your little heroes the best start with Mighty Splash Swim School!
About our adult & child lessons
Mighty Splash adult and child classes are limited to a maximum of six children. Each child swims with their parent, guardian or carer, and the teacher remains in the pool with the group.
At this age, your child is developing their fundamental movement skills. We encourage these skills during lessons, as they are central to learning to swim. These skills include:
- Walking, running, jumping and kicking
- Balancing, throwing, catching and rolling
- Hopping, skipping, leaping and galloping
These movement skills are developed in the water and form the start of your child’s swimming development. It’s great fun for our toddlers learning how to move, play and socialise in the water!

Blast through the levels and make heroic progress
Swimmers on our adult and child programme work through each of the seven steps of the STAnley First Steps series. Click or tap one of the cards below to find out more about each stage, from 1 all the way up to Super Star!
Find the right level for your little hero
Not sure if your little one should be in our adult and child or preschool classes? Knowing where your child should be on our swimming pathway is important, but don’t worry — we are here to help.
First, use our innovative Find Your Level tool to check your child’s level. This tool breaks down the skills required for each class and will help you confidently choose the class you’d like to try.
Next, come along for a free trial. We’ll work out which class your child should be in and ensure there’s a time and day that’s right for you. If we think your child will thrive in a different class, we’ll talk to you on the day of your trial and we can plan together where their next class will be.
It’s important to pick an entry-level class that feels right to you. It’s always better to start off in a lower stage and gain confidence, than to start higher and feel deflated.
As a quick guide for young children, we recommend the following:
- 2 to 3-year-olds who are complete beginners to swimming, maybe nervous in water — adult and child lessons
- 3 to 4-year-olds who are somewhat confident, independent water travellers — preschool swimming lessons
Coming from another swim school? We always make sure your child is happy and confident with their skills before moving them to their next stage. We appreciate that every swim school is different and does things differently. That’s why we’ll assess your child when they come for their free trial lesson, then support them through any changes.
