Learn to Swim with Confidence at Bradford Grammar School
Our Aqua Confidence swimming lessons at Bradford Grammar School offer a personalised learning environment, helping swimmers excel to their best possible ability.
We provide lessons for ladies where you can relax in an all-female environment making you feel comfortable during your learning journey. We provide lessons for older children, our adolescent lessons suiting older children from aged 10 years who thrive better when learning with their own ability and age group.
We also have lessons for adults who learn in different ability group. Learner’s work within a group of people all at the same stage of their journey to learn to swim. Family members may wish to learn at the same time, that’s of great support to each other.
For the new to swimming learners, it’s good to learn a new skill and the health benefits of swimming are beneficial, especially as it’s a low impact form of exercise meaning joints are protected.
