Sherborne Sports Centre runs a very popular swim school for children and adults during term time. Our experienced, STA qualified team will initially assess the learner’s ability and then offer an appropriate class if there is availability. As the swimmer improves, so will they progress through the classes. Out of term time, there are intensive classes for children (see below).

CHILDREN’S INTENSIVE LESSONS
Intensive lessons are usually run during the school holidays and are daily 30 minute lessons, over the course of one week (Mon-Fri). This is a very effective way for children to make impressive progress in a short space of time.
These courses are limited to 12 places. Classes are then usually divided into two or three smaller groups on the first day depending on swimming ability.
