From our swimmers
Example reviews on a demonstration website.
★★★★★
At 52 I couldn’t put my face in the water. Eight weeks later I swam a length. I cried a bit.
★★★★★
The stroke clinic video showed me exactly why I was sinking. Fixed in one session.
★★★★★
The women-only lane made all the difference to me starting.
06Questions
Before your first lesson
I can’t swim at all. Which class?
Adult beginners. We start at the shallow end, four to a lane, and nobody goes deeper until they’re ready.
Do I need my own kit?
A costume, a cap and goggles. Floats and kick-boards are ours.
Is it women-only?
There’s a women-only improvers class on Thursdays at 8pm, with a female coach.
What if I miss a week?
Make it up in another class that term, as long as there’s space.
Can I book or pay through this example?
This is a fictional business on Shovva. Try every step to see how it works: nothing is booked, charged or sent.
What ages do you teach?
Adults only: 18 and over. Many of our swimmers are in their forties, fifties and sixties.
Which pool, and when? How warm is the water?
A heated indoor pool in Headingley, Leeds, kept at about 30°C. Lessons are Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm and 8pm, and Saturday at 8am.
Which group would we join?
Can’t swim yet, or nervous of the deep end? Adult beginners. Can manage a width? Improvers. Not sure? Book a one-to-one lesson and we’ll place you.
What happens if we miss a lesson?
Make it up in another class that term, as long as there’s space.
How will we know they’re making progress?
You’ll get a short note at week four and week eight on what you can do and what’s next. Stroke clinics include underwater video.
How many swimmers are in a class, per teacher?
Four to a lane, with a maximum of twelve swimmers and one coach in the water or on the side.
