💦 Stage 1 swimming lessons available 💦

Stage 1 is the first step in our learn to swim journey. If your child has not taken swimming lessons before then, this is the stage for them! Using a games led approach, we focus on getting your children comfortable in the water.

We teach your children to move in all directions, get water on their face, blow bubbles and understand buoyancy. These are the building blocks to develop the four main strokes further later on.

Book your child in now by following this link https://www.leisurecentre.com/backwell-leisure-centre/swimming-lessons/childrens-swimming-lessons.

Wear clothes to swimming lessons this week! 🏊‍♂️👕

This (June 13 - 20), we are making water safety the heart of our swimming lessons!

We’re encouraging all our learn-to-swim members to wear T-shirts and shorts to their lessons. Swimming in clothing allows members to experience what it feels like to be in the water while fully clothed, a vital skill for building confidence and understanding safety in unexpected scenarios.

We're excited to announce that we will be participating in RLSS Drowning Prevention Week from June 15th to June 21st 🛟💦D...

Swimming skills aren’t just for the pool, they can make a difference wherever water is part of life.

Part 2 of Jo's Clipper Round the World Yacht Race! ⛵

"I’m just an ordinary person that’s done something amazing. I’m very proud of myself for doing it."

At one of our sister centre's, Jo teamed up with her Personal Trainer Carly to prepare for her 6,500 nautical-mile journey across the ocean. We are so proud of what Jo has achieved and wanted to share her story as an inspiration to us all.
