Booking swimming lessons should feel straightforward. But for many people, it’s often the small things that cause confusion. Which level to choose, how the booking works, or what happens once you’ve signed up.

This guide walks you through exactly how to book swimming lessons with Horizon, so you can get started quickly and feel confident you’ve done everything right.

1. Finding the right lesson for you

The first step is choosing a lesson that fits your swimmer’s stage and schedule.

When you visit the booking page, you’ll be able to:

  • Select your preferred centre
  • Choose swimming lessons
  • Filter by day and stage or level
  • Add your chosen class to your basket

If you’re unsure on the right stage, it’s always better to take a moment here. Choosing the right level helps your swimmer feel comfortable and progress confidently from the start.

2. Setting up your account

Once you’ve chosen your lesson, you’ll be asked to create or log into your account.

A common mistake here is entering the parent or guardian details instead of the swimmer. Make sure the swimmer’s details are entered correctly, as this is what tracks their progress through the programme.

3. Choosing your membership and payment

Next, you’ll select your swimmer and choose the correct payment option.

Swimming lessons are set up on a monthly Direct Debit, making it simple to manage ongoing lessons without needing to rebook each time.

This also means your place is secured, so your swimmer can continue progressing without interruption.

4. Applying any offers

If you have an offer code, this is where you’ll enter it.

Make sure to:

  • Enter the code in the voucher box at checkout
  • Click apply before continuing

This ensures your discount is added correctly before you complete your booking.

5 .Completing your booking

To finish, you’ll:

  • Set up your Direct Debit details
  • Pay the initial pro-rata amount
  • Confirm your booking

Once that’s done, your swimmer is ready to start.

If you’re booking for more than one swimmer, each booking needs to be completed individually. You can easily add another swimmer through your account and repeat the process.
