Greystones Summer Intensive Swimming Lessons

Summer Intensive Lessons take place throughout the month of July & August

  • They are a week-long (Monday-Friday) 40min lesson (either at 3.00pm or 4.00pm) 

  • These daily lessons are a great way of improving technique and skills in just one week.

  • Our intensive swimming lessons allow for faster progression as the skills learned are carried forward to the next day with less time spent recapping the previous class.

  • These lessons are ideally aimed at those swimmers who are already in lessons or are familiar with pool settings (ie been to a pool setting more than once and are comfortable in water) and looking to improve skills and/or gain more water confidence during these week-long lessons.

  • Our summer intensive lessons will cover levels 1- 4 and we take from 4years- 12years old. (Swimmer must be four and over to join our swim school)

  • Our small group numbers in our intensive lessons mean our swimming instructors can give more attention and deliver highly motivated swimming lessons to each swimmer.

Days : Monday-Friday

Times: 3.00pm-3.40pm or 4.00pm-4.40p

Cost: €76.50
