We're adding an exciting twist to the spooky season by hosting Halloween-themed swim lessons for kids.

From October 24th to 31st, dive into a world of fun and frights as we encourage little swimmers to don their favourite costumes and join us in the pool for a bewitching learning experience.

All kids are invited to dress up in their favourite costumes and participate in these specially designed classes. Not only will they have a blast, but they'll also become more confident and skilled swimmers along the way.

Whether they want to be a mermaid, pirate, or superhero, we welcome all characters and creativity.

Why Halloween Swim Lessons?

  • Boost Confidence: Encouraging children to wear costumes in the water can help boost their confidence. It adds an element of fun and imagination, making the swimming experience less intimidating.
  • Promote Water Safety: Halloween swim lessons offer a unique opportunity to reinforce essential water safety skills while kids enjoy themselves. Learning how to swim is crucial, and it's even more exciting when wrapped in Halloween-themed activities.
  • Develop Social Skills: In a costume-filled pool, kids will have the chance to interact with peers, fostering social skills and teamwork. It's a fantastic way to make new friends while having fun.
  • Unleash Creativity: Halloween costumes ignite creativity and imagination. Encouraging children to wear costumes during swim lessons taps into their imaginative side, turning the pool into a magical underwater realm.
