Ogden Otters Swimming School

Young as newborns to join in the classes. We also offer personalised 1-2-1 adult lessons for those who want to improve their swimming skills.

Our swimming school is family run, and we pride ourselves on creating a warm and welcoming environment for all our swimmers. Our small class sizes ensure that each swimmer receives ample attention and guidance from our instructors who are in the pool with the students.

Our pool is well-lit and kept clean and warm, providing a comfortable environment for swimmers of all ages. We also offer free off-road car parking and WIFI for the convenience of our customers. Our reception area is clean, warm, and bright with ample seating and large screen TVs where you can watch your children in the pool while enjoying a coffee.

To book your child in for lessons, we offer assessment sessions once a month where we evaluate their swimming abilities and assign them to the appropriate class. These assessment days have limited spots, so we encourage you to contact our reception to book a session as soon as possible.

We offer a range of swimming lessons for different age groups and abilities. Aquacise classes are held every evening on Mondays and Wednesdays, and they last for a minimum of 45 minutes. Baby and toddler swimming classes are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, providing a fun and safe environment for your little ones to learn and enjoy the water. Swim nappies are available for purchase, and we welcome baby feeding in our reception area.

Our swimming lessons run from Monday to Sunday, with different time slots available to accommodate different schedules. We offer a block of 4 lessons at a cost of 34, with a non-refundable charge of 5 for each assessment. Fun swims are held every Saturday, and Aquacise session timings may vary, so we encourage you to check with our reception for the exact schedule.

In addition to swimming lessons, we also offer instructor training for individuals aged 16 and above who are interested in becoming Assistant Instructors or full instructors. This can be a great opportunity to gain experience and qualifications for future career prospects.

At Ogden Otters Swim School, we follow a syllabus designed to meet the standards of the national curriculum, ensuring that our swimmers progress gradually and have fun while learning. We never discourage our swimmers and instead focus on celebrating their achievements.

Our school manager, Samantha Wright, is committed to hiring only the most caring and highly qualified teachers who are dedicated to their profession. We cultivate a nurturing and caring atmosphere to ensure that the needs of each child are met during their lessons.

We believe that swimming is a skill for life, and our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children to learn this important life skill. Swimming is not only a great form of exercise but also an injury-free activity that can be enjoyed throughout life. Learning to swim has numerous benefits and can provide fitness and enjoyment for people of all ages.

At Ogden Otters Swim School, we believe that swimming together should be a part of family life. We offer a range of activities to encourage family involvement, including aquacise sessions for expectant and new mothers, parent and baby sessions, and personalised 1-2-1 adult lessons.
