About the Swim School

Swim Safe, Build Confidence, Create Lifelong Memories.

Swimming is a life skill that provides confidence, safety and lifelong enjoyment. Regular lessons can improve fitness, coordination and strength while giving both children and adults the skills to stay safe in and around water.

At Sportspark Swim School, our Learn to Swim programme offers a range of options to suit every swimmer:

  • Junior Group Lessons – build confidence and develop swimming skills in a fun, supportive group environment.

  • Adult Group Lessons – learn new techniques or refine your strokes in a friendly group setting.

  • Private Lessons – personalised coaching to focus on your specific goals and progress at your own pace.

Swimming lessons are not just about learning to move through the water; they help develop confidence, coordination, and personal safety, making them one of the most important life skills children and adults can gain.

Course Closures

Working in line with the Swim England Learn to Swim framework these sessions will run largely in line with the Norfolk County Council term times over 38 weeks per year.

Payments will be made via a monthly Direct Debit (with a payment break in August each year).

Course Closure weeks:

  • 27 October - 2 November

  • 22 December - 4 January

  • 16 February - 22 February

  • 30 March - 13 April

Re-enrolments

Re-enrolments for each term will not be required and your child will retain their space for as long as they require it. If, due to a progression, the cost needs to be amended then a new direct debit form will need to be completed but all other details will remain constant.
