There is no better form of all round exercise than swimming. Learning to swim can lead to a whole new lifestyle. No one is ever too old to learn to swim, be it for exercise, relaxation or personal achievement. Our swimming lesson program offers something for everyone.
Canons aims to provide a quality service for children and adults of all abilities. We employ a team of fully qualified, professional and highly experienced instructors. Small classes, a friendly atmosphere and co-operative staff are guaranteed!
The program we offer is the Swim England Water Skills and Challenge Awards: take a look at an overview of our lower grading system. Please note, we start swimming lessons from the age of four.
