If you live in Epsom, Leatherhead or the villages around them, choosing swimming lessons often comes down to a practical question: which venue is easiest to get to, and which class time fits your week? Colin Bull Swimming Lessons teaches at two established venues, Downsend School in Leatherhead and Epsom College in Epsom, so families across the area have a genuine choice.
Here is how to decide which venue and which type of lesson suits you best.
Swimming Lessons In Leatherhead
Downsend School in Leatherhead is a convenient option for families in Leatherhead itself, as well as nearby Ashtead, Fetcham, Bookham and Great Bookham. If you are travelling from one of these areas, it is worth checking which class times are available at Downsend, since children’s classes run after school, in the evenings and at weekends.
Swimming Lessons In Epsom
Epsom College in Epsom suits families in Epsom, Ewell, Cheam, Banstead and Worcester Park, along with others living nearby. Having a venue in Epsom means many families can fit lessons in straight after school, rather than facing a long journey across the area.
Choosing The Right Class For Your Child
Lessons are available from pre school age, from two and a half years old, right up to adults, seven days a week. A child taking their first steps in the water will be in a very different class from one refining their technique, so it is worth talking through where your child is starting from, rather than just picking the most convenient time slot.
Adult Swimming Lessons
Swimming lessons are not just for children. Adult classes cover everything from complete beginner through to advanced, so whether you never learned to swim or simply want to improve your technique, there is a class that suits your level. Many adults say the hardest part is booking that first lesson, and a class made up of people at a similar stage can make it far easier.
Private Lessons
If you or your child would benefit from more individual attention, private lessons are available, for children at weekends and for adults on weekday evenings. They can suit anyone working on a specific fear of water, building confidence at their own pace or wanting more focused progress than a group class allows.
Qualified, Experienced Teaching
Every member of staff is ASA and or STA qualified, with up to date rescue qualifications. Colin Bull has been involved with swimming and diving for most of his life, and brings that experience into how lessons are taught.
Questions To Ask When Choosing A Venue
- How long does the journey take at the time of the class?
- Do the available class times fit around school, work and weekends?
- Which class level is right for my child or for me?
- Would a private lesson be more suitable to begin with?
