Intensive Holiday Swimming Courses

Daily Lessons for Rapid Progress

SwimWay Holiday Courses are designed to help children make fast, confident progress in the water during school holidays.

Unlike weekly lessons, our holiday courses run every day for one week at the same time, giving swimmers daily consistency and repetition that helps skills develop more quickly. With regular practice and focused coaching, children often gain confidence and improve their technique in just a few days.

Courses are available for a wide range of abilities, from early water confidence through to more advanced swimmers refining their skills.

Holiday courses run during:

  • All school half-term breaks
  • Easter holidays
  • Summer holidays (July/August)
  • Xmas holidays

Why Intensive Courses Work

Holiday courses are a great option for both new and existing swimmers. They are ideal for children who want to boost their progress between terms, swimmers preparing to move up to the next stage, and beginners looking for a gentle yet consistent introduction to the water. They also provide families with a fun and active way to make the most of the school holidays. With our small class sizes and experienced instructors, every child receives the support and attention they need to feel comfortable in the water and progress at their own pace.

Daily lessons create the ideal learning environment for developing swimming skills. When children practise regularly over consecutive days, they are able to:

  • Build confidence more quickly in the water
  • Strengthen core swimming techniques
  • Focus on specific skills that need improvement
  • Develop better muscle memory through repetition
  • Maintain momentum without long gaps between lessons

For many swimmers, a single week of intensive lessons can produce the same progress that might otherwise take several weeks of regular classes.

Summer Holiday Special Activities

During the July and August summer holidays, we sometimes run additional holiday programmes at selected venues alongside our intensive swimming courses.

These may include:

  • Weekly weekend parent and baby classes
  • Water and land-based holiday camps (typically 2-hour drop-off sessions for children)
  • Adult lessons on demand
  • Other seasonal activities depending on venue availability

These programmes vary each year and by location, so please contact our team for the latest information.

Fantastic instructor, my daughter progressed so well with her. She's been super patient and gets straight down to it so they really get the most of the lesson time. My daughter loves her lessons and it's never been a chore getting her to go!!

We have been absolutely delighted with our teacher in Clapham. We began lessons when our daughter was just four months old, and the progress has been incredible. Today, she is completely confident in the water — happily jumping in, diving, and thoroughly enjoying her swimming sessions...

The girls have absolutely loved their week long summer course. They’ve come on so much and the coaches were brilliant, dedicated and very encouraging! Thank you SwimWay!

We have been with SwimWay for several years now, currently at Kew Gardens Pool. Our son has autism and loves swimming there, not just learning to swim but having lots of fun too. It's a great venue and the instructor is excellent with lots of enthusiasm (and patience!) with our son...
