Intensive Swimming Courses/LessonsAs well as our term-time Swim School lessons, BSS also offers five-day intensive courses throughout the year for both children and adults. Our intensives are great to fill up the school holidays with a healthy activity that boosts swimming ability and skills. We offer our intensive courses in ALL school holidays.
Lessons are typically held in an intensive period of 5 lessons over five days, often Monday to Friday. This is a great way to speed up children's progress in the pool and are great for topping up between term-time lessons, or as a stand alone. The intensives offer 1:1/2:1 lessons. |
