Learn to Swim with Leisure World!
Swimming is a vital life skill and a fun way for children to stay active and build confidence. At Leisure World Colchester, our Swim England certified instructors offer lessons for all ages, from babies to teens, focusing on technique, water safety, and personal progress.
Each weekly session helps children refine their strokes, grow in confidence, and learn how to stay safe in and around water. Our lessons are structured, supportive, and designed to make swimming enjoyable for every child.
When you sign up online, your child will receive a free swim bag, swim hat, and Zoggs goggles to get started. They’ll also earn free achievement certificates to celebrate their progress.
To help children practise and improve between lessons, we offer free access to our 25-metre fitness pool during public swim sessions, a great way to build skills outside of classes.
With easy monthly payments, an on-site Zoggs shop, and a welcoming café for post-lesson treats, Leisure World makes swimming lessons easy and enjoyable for the whole family.
