Why book a BOOST?

Benefits of an Intensive Course

Just like learning any sport, a language, an instrument, or even going to the gym, the more often we practice, the quicker we improve and the more confident we become. Swimming is no different, yet most children only get 30 minutes practice in the water each week, making slow progress almost inevitable.

Our BOOST courses are designed to change that. With more frequent lessons over a short period of time, swimmers build confidence, sharpen technique, and retain skills more effectively. Longer classes, focused practice, and back-to-back daily sessions create the consistency and momentum children need to fast-track progress, develop skills more quickly, and prevent regression.

With greater frequency, focus and time in the water, our programme of intensive courses accelerate learning and boost water confidence. Designed for every level of swimmer, they provide optimum support and attention whether its helping nervous starters gain confidence, late learners overcome barriers, or more experienced swimmers master tricky skills and break through plateaus.

Icon

More Frequency

Repetition is the foundation of learning, and frequent practice is the fastest way to develop new skills. Our intensive courses offer the option of multiple or daily lessons within a week, giving swimmers the consistency they need to break through barriers, make faster progress, and avoid setbacks from time out of the water.

Icon

More Focus

One-to-One lessons create a fully personalised, distraction-free learning environment, boosting focus without any of the downtime associated with group classes. Tailored to the pace and needs of the swimmer, these lessons maximise progress, and with multiple sessions a week, the added consistency accelerates improvement even further.

Icon

More Time

It’s not just about more time to practice but about having enough time in each lesson to fully understand and apply what's being taught. Our Group Crash Courses double the learning time with 1-hour lessons each day, delivering the equivalent of 10 weeks of learning in just 5 days. Daily, back-to back lessons provide consistency, while extended sessions allow enough time to truly learn.
