Swimming Lessons

Swimming is a fundamental life skill, and a critical skill that can help to increase water safety and save lives. At Plas Menai, our junior and adult swimming lessons are designed to help participants of all ages to develop and stay safe near the water, all while learning a fun, healthy activity.

Junior Swimming Lessons

Our Junior Learn to Swim Pathway is delivered in partnership with Swim Wales and maintains a focus on fun and games to help children develop the skills they need to become a competent swimmer. Children are guided through from the earliest splash to becoming confident and strong swimmers.For our pre-school swimming lessons aimed at children aged 3 to 4 years, we strongly encourage parents or guardians to accompany their child in the water. At this developmental stage, having a familiar and supportive presence can significantly enhance the child’s comfort and confidence, making the learning experience both enjoyable and effective. Participating alongside your child also allows you to be actively involved in their progress as they develop essential water safety and swimming skills.
