About
Welcome to Mad About Swimming, a leading swim school located in Carnforth. With a passion for swimming and a commitment to excellence, our experienced team of instructors are dedicated to providing top-quality swimming lessons for all ages, from babies to children.
At Mad About Swimming, our ethos centres around small group sizes for non-swimmers and beginners. This ensures that each child receives the individual attention and support they deserve to succeed in their swimming journey. Our instructors follow the ASA National Plan for teaching Swimming (NPTS) to ensure a structured and effective learning experience.
We understand the importance of flexibility and convenience for families, which is why we offer various ability groups at any given time. This allows siblings to be taught simultaneously or back to back in most cases, making it easier for families to schedule their swimming lessons.
Established in 2007 as 'Little Nippers Swim School', Mad About Swimming has built a stellar reputation for providing high-quality swimming lessons. Our team of dedicated and enthusiastic instructors are in the water for all non-swimmers, beginner, and intermediate classes, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment. In addition, our pools are manned by lifeguards during all swimming sessions, prioritising the safety of our students.
But don't just take our word for it! Our satisfied customers testify to the effectiveness of our lessons. Sarah shares, “These lessons are absolutely fantastic! My children have both made a massive amount of progress in a very short time.
Thank you! ” Mrs. L adds, “Maisie thoroughly enjoyed her lessons and the small group sizes ensured she maintained concentration! Thank you.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and inviting swimming environment. Natalie C praises, “My girls really enjoyed their lessons here, the teachers are brill and the pool lovely and clean.
So, whether you're looking to introduce your little one to the joys of swimming or want to improve your child's existing skills, Mad About Swimming is the place to be. Join us and dive into excellence today. For more information, please email us or visit our website.
