At Volair we offer structured swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, from babies and toddlers through to adults. Our programme follows the Swim England Learn to Swim teaching plan—a nationally recognised pathway designed to build water confidence and develop swimming skills at every level.
What swimming lessons are on offer?
At Volair, we offer swimming lessons for all levels, from babies to adults. Our programme caters for all. Our swim program adheres to Swim England’s Learn to Swim Teaching Plan, providing a structured, nationally recognised pathway to swimming proficiency. In short,it’s the best way to teach children to swim.
The Discovery Duckling Awards are the first step into swimming lessons for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. These sessions help young children gain water confidence while staying close to an adult for support, with awards to celebrate progress.
Duckling Awards build on Discovery Ducklings, helping children start moving in the water and gradually develop key skills. Each of the four Duckling Awards has its own certificate and badge, encouraging independence and confidence as children prepare for the next stage.
Our Learn 2 Swim stages run from Stage 1 through Stage 10. Stages 1–7 are ideal for children aged 5 and above, progressing from basic movement skills to strong, confident swimming. Stages 8–10 support swimmers who have developed core fundamentals and are ready to refine technique and versatility in the water.
Adult swimming lessons are available for anyone aged 16 and above, whether you’re learning to swim for the first time, improving your stroke, or looking to build confidence in the water. Your first session includes an initial assessment and personalised swim plan with your instructor.

My daughter was nervous about the water, but the swim team have completely transformed her confidence. The small class sizes meant she got the attention she needed, and now she can’t wait for her lessons each week! She’s already earned two badges and we’re so proud.
