Develop your child’s swimming skills
From 4 years and above, we build on your child’s water confidence to accelerate their progress in the pool, turning them from keen paddlers to mighty travellers!
We go beyond teaching to ensure that every lesson feels like an adventure. Having fun and staying safe in the water is central to our teaching approach to help develop mighty swim skills.
Your child will master new skills and take pride in their progress with games and plenty of toys to develop a lifelong love of water.
We are experts in boosting children’s water confidence, turning water apprehension into aquatic adventures.
Our small classes are easy to book online and are delivered by exceptional teachers who genuinely care.
Our children’s swimming lessons are split into three groups based on the STA Grades 1–7:
- Beginners (Grades 1–4): These lessons cover foundational skills such as buoyancy, balance and propulson.
- Improvers (Grades 5–7): Swimmers in this group are looking to improve the way they travel through the water — further and faster than ever before!
- Advanced: The final stage of children’s lessons, this group covers the STA’s Advanced Swimmer Series, including competitive swimming techniques.
Give your growing heroes the best start with Mighty Splash Swim School!
About our children’s swimming lessons
At Mighty Splash Swim School, we offer lessons to encourage children to play and form a life-long enjoyment of the water.
We base our lessons around themes. It could be a “day at the beach” or “transport” — they are all designed to activate your child’s imagination and engage them with activities relevant to their level.
Our children’s swimming programme follows the STA Grade system, which offers seven levels for children to work towards. Grades 1—4 are all about building water confidence, having fun with ways to travel in the water, body positions, floating, and having a go at different strokes and skills. Grades 5—7 are for more experienced swimmers, focusing on improving technique and diving.
Our dynamic sessions are designed to increase fitness and have fun. We introduce competitive swimming, lifesaving skills, and even throw in a few lessons learning how to swim with a tail, so they can build core muscle strength while swimming as a shark or a mermaid!
However, it doesn’t have to end at Grade 7. We cover so much more in our Advanced Swimmer Series, which includes bronze, silver and gold awards.

Find the right level for your little hero
Not sure what level your child should join lessons? 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.
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.
We want your child to feel confident, happy and supported in the water — not out of their depth and feel challenged beyond their ability.
