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.

I just wanted to tell you how much my son is enjoying swimming and how great his instructor has been. He has always been afraid of water and she has been so patient in working with him - he's made so much progress!

My daughter has been doing the intensive course this week and I just wanted to let you know that our instructor is absolutely amazing with her! I have seen such an improvement over the week and really I wanted to let you know she has been superb in her teaching style, she is very experienced and very kind and my daughter loves her. She is wonderful – you guys all are – you have always been so professional, quick to respond and so helpful with all of our bookings. Thank you!

Children's Pre-Club Lessons

My daughter had her trial at Ealing last night, and has been accepted to join the club! She showed them her front crawl, back stroke and breast stroke, along with some lovely tumble turns. They commented on her good technique, and were really impressed with how she swam - which really is thanks to her SwimWay instructors because they have done a fabulous job in training her. She is super happy and proud of herself, so thank you SO MUCH for all your advice and support.
