Horizon Swim School

It’s never too late to learn how to swim, and we believe everyone should have this essential lifesaving skill.

Perhaps you feel uncertain around water or never had the chance to learn before.  There’s no need to be embarrassed about taking swimming lessons. Our experienced teachers will provide you with guidance and support throughout your journey.

Our adult swimming lessons cater for non-swimmers wanting to learn a new skill right through to confident swimmers wishing to fine-tune their technique and swim stroke.

Our baby and toddler swimming lessons are a wonderful way to build water confidence. Filled with fun games, singing and toys in the pool, it’s a delightful opportunity to play and bond with your little one.

You can start these lessons when your baby is just three months old and has received their second set of vaccinations.

All baby and toddler swimming lessons require a parent to always be in the swimming pool with their child.

Children’s swimming lessons at Horizon offer a fun and social way for kids to stay fit and learn an important life skill, and we welcome children to embark on a rewarding journey towards becoming confident swimmers.

Our bespoke syllabus, spanning levels 1 to 10, guides our learners through every splash of the way. As they progress, they will earn certificates in recognition of their achievements. As children progress through the higher levels, our expert teachers will also introduce them to the skills of competitive swimming techniques.

Our lessons are available throughout the year, except for a two-week break during Christmas. Children can join our programme at any time during 50 weeks of the year.

If your child already has some swimming ability or has attended lessons elsewhere, you can book an assessment through our Swim School team. Young beginners between four and seven years old will be placed in the appropriate class, while those eight and over will start in a Junior Beginner 8+ shallow class.

Our popular Level 7 Plus children’s swimming lessons are for more confident young swimmers and provide a fantastic pathway to gaining professional lifesaving qualifications.

Horizon Swim School offers one-to-one and two-to-one private swimming lessons for both children and adults. These personalised swimming lessons are available at Havant and Waterlooville Leisure Centres.

Fun fitness sessions for young swimmers concentrating on improving stamina, fitness swimming skills and techniques.

Building on fitness and personal survival skills, as well as water safety and casualty recognition skills, swimmers can work their way through the Lifesavers Levels (one to three and then Advanced).

Advanced level is a great platform to the NPLQ course, which gives teenagers and young adults the qualifications to work as a lifeguard.

Synchronised swimming embodies the art of blending precise aquatic movements with coordinated choreography, all elegantly set to music. Participants in this captivating sport learn a fusion of graceful gestures, gymnastic elements, and fluid dance techniques within the aquatic realm.

To ensure a seamless transition into synchronised swimming, your aspiring swimmer should have completed at least Level 8 within our Swim School programme, or present an equivalent proficiency from an alternate accredited scheme.
