Atlantis Swim Academy
Welcome to Atlantis Swim Academy - a world of swimming - where
fully qualified Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) instructors will
teach you how to swim. And if you already know how to swim, you may
benefit from lessons to improve your s
troke technique.
Atlantis caters for all ages and abilities: from babies and
toddlers to teenagers and adults; beginners to accomplished
swimmers.
Even if you haven't swum for years, Atlantis is for you.
You will enjoy the benefits of a healthy sport, build up your
stamina, and meet new people.
Participants in the programme will be provided with a swimming
hat at the beginning of each course. This must be worn at all
sessions. Babies must wear waterproof nappies, available from our
reception.
All courses have a limit to the number of pupils that can
attend. Should a course be full, a waiting list is available.
All lessons run in school term time only and must be booked and
paid for in advance.
