Children’s weekly lessons

City of Chester Swim School

We’re passionate about teaching children to swim, helping them stay safe in the water and giving them the confidence to enjoy swimming for life.

City of Chester Swim School brings together the long-established swimming lesson programmes of Chester City Baths and City of Chester Swimming & Water Polo Club, creating a clear and seamless pathway for every swimmer. Lessons follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme and cater for beginners through to Stage 6.

Our experienced, Swim England qualified teachers are committed to helping every child develop their skills, confidence and enjoyment of the water in a safe and supportive environment.

Lesson Times:

Our aim is not simply to teach children to swim, but to provide the skills, confidence and opportunities to enjoy swimming and aquatic sport for years to come.
