“Grace’s confidence in the water since starting Swim Leeds is amazing! She looks forward to her swimming lessons every week and thinks her instructor Lewis is great. I would recommend Swim Leeds to anyone they are a fantastic business”
“I’ve been at Swim Leeds on a Sunday morning every Sunday for the past 7 years and would like to thank you personally. Ella as you know is Yorkshire 50m age group butterfly champion and swims at county, regional and national level as is also part of the City of Leeds team which are the current British National Team champions. This is all down to her stroke technique and efficiency she learned at Swim Leeds. Swim Leeds did a marvellous job in nurturing her young talent into a competent, competitive swimmer. Many thanks a good luck with the future.”
Give your child the best start by introducing them to the pool as an infant and allowing us to develop their skills in the water, teaching them basic swimming techniques whilst raising their confidence in the water.
Your child will develop important skills, which will help them to stay safe in the water.
As children grow older it is essential both for safety and wellbeing that they learn how to swim with confidence. Our swimming lessons for children are the ideal opportunity to give your child a good understanding of how to swim on their own, whilst in a safe environment.
If you feel that your child is getting older and are worried that their school isn’t starting young enough, then we can offer swimming lessons to older children so that they can learn to swim without waiting for school lessons to start.
As your child is now happy and confident in the pool they may want to develop their swimming skills and learn more advanced techniques. Swim Leeds offer more advanced lessons to older children who want to keep progressing their swimming skills.

I founded WB Swimming in 1997, with the aim of providing superb water-based instruction in small classes. Swim teaching is my passion; there is nothing more rewarding for me than seeing a child swim unaided for the first time and the look of pride and joy on a parents face. I believe that anyone can learn to swim at any age and that the key to fast development and progress is a small student to teacher ratio in a relaxed friendly environment.
I love to engage with the children I teach and really enjoy seeing them progress through guided discovery and play. I adapt my teaching style to the specific needs of each child and always challenge my children to do their very best in a fun and encouraging way. There is nothing more rewarding that seeing a smile on the parent and child’s face.
I would describe my teaching approach as firm but fair, I always challenge my children to do their very best in a fun and encouraging way. You can expect my lessons to be fun, engaging and dynamic.
Previously a primary school teacher I took the transition into teaching children to swim. Through experience I know that small class sizes work better in any arena as the child is given more attention and coaching points.
