Stay + Swim

Classes are bookable termly in advance.

Swimming is one of the most wonderful experiences you can share with your child and it is one that you can enjoy together. Our weekly Stay + Swim sessions for babies and toddlers is held in our swimming pool and is led by two Howell's swimming teachers. The child-led swimming approach ensures that your child's needs are expertly fulfilled – never forcing development, but nurturing confidence and unlocking their potential to swim.
