5+ years
For swimmers completing our school aged swim lessons and looking to maintain their skills and fitness, our non-competitive squads offer the perfect continuation. These transitional squads meet twice weekly, focusing on building endurance and refining technique under the guidance of our experienced instructors.
Approx 8+ years - Non-competition squad
Our once or twice-weekly SwimFit training is designed for swimmers who have completed our Learn-to-Swim programme and want to continue developing their skills and maintaining fitness at Kings.
Joining the squad helps build endurance through longer sessions while also preparing swimmers for a higher level of performance.
This is the perfect stepping stone into our Competitive Squad training with the Vikings Swim Club, based at Kings and coached by Todd Mason.
All adults
At Kings Swim School, we offer
adult swimming lessons tailored to
all abilities and confidence levels through our industry-leading, learn-at-your-own-pace programme.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, our programme is designed to help adults of all ages improve in a safe, supportive environment, with expert guidance from our trained instructors.
Our adult lessons levels:
Beginner: You’ll build water confidence and become comfortable in the water. The focus will be on submerging, floating, and basic kicking techniques to help you feel at ease in the pool.
Intermediate: Here, you’ll gain confidence in floating unaided, transitioning from floating to standing, and begin developing basic freestyle and backstroke techniques.
Expert: At this level, we focus on fine-tuning your swimming. With an emphasis on breathing and stroke technique, we tailor lessons to help you achieve your personal swimming goals.
3 months and older
Our private lessons with highly trained swimming instructors are an excellent choice for children or adults with additional learning needs, or for those seeking focused, one-on-one lessons to accelerate swimming progress before joining a group class, or if you simply prefer a one-on-one style lesson.
These personalised swimming lessons allow our instructors to tailor each session to the unique needs of the child or adult, providing detailed instruction and support. This approach helps accelerate skill development.
Approx 8+ years - Competition Squads
Transitioning from the SwimFit squad o the Vikings squad under Olympic Coach Todd Mason offers swimmers an exceptional opportunity. With over 47 years of experience, Todd has guided swimmers to the highest levels of competition, including the Youth Commonwealth Games and World Junior Championships in 2023.
At Vikings, we focus on more than just competition—we foster a close-knit swim community where swimmers build lasting friendships and embrace values like strength, camaraderie, and passion.
