The team at Zambezi are ready to welcome you to a swimming lesson full of inspiration, encouragement and lots of fun guaranteed to give AMAZING results. Our expert team deliver specialist classes for babies, children, adults and inclusive lessons for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities.

At Zambezi, every session follows a specially tailored scheme of work. Our highly qualified teachers are very interactive and are in the water when needed to aid the children with their confidence and stroke technique.

Swimming is more than just a sport- it is a life skill. It’s vital high-quality tuition is received by all who wish to learn. That is why, at Zambezi, we ensure we keep our class sizes small either through our specialist private sessions, one – two tuition or through our small group classes where we maximise teaching contact time.

Progress is seen very quickly and all who learn to swim with Zambezi develop a love for the water and their swimming lessons. No armbands or life jackets are used and we focus on overarm recovery and the correct breathing techniques.

The Zambezi coaching team has been carefully selected for their experience, passion and dedication to teaching.

Discovery Duckling 1, Discovery Duckling 2, Discovery Duckling 3, Discovery Duckling

From your very first session we will fill you and your baby with the confidence to thoroughly enjoy being in the water. We use songs, toys and lots of FUN to ensure your baby is happy, confident and starting a life long love of swimming. In each session, we develop core aquatic skills, whilst also promoting physical, intellectual, and social benefits.  Your baby will be progressed through the Swim England Discovery Duckling badges that you can order directly to your home.

At the end of Discovery Duckling children will be confident enough to attend lessons without adult assistance.

Children need to be 3 years old before moving into Ducklings.

Duckling 3, Duckling 4

This is the first stage of your child’s journey that they complete without an adult. Children will progress and have lots of FUN building their swimming skills and water confidence. We encourage our duckling swimmers to swim with and without floats,

submerge under the water to pick up treasure and tick off the outcomes on the Swim England Duckling Badges.

 

Stages 1 – 7

There is no better feeling than learning to swim and no matter what age your child starts their journey with us that is exactly what we will get them doing! Our small group classes mean your child will get plenty of assistance from their expert teacher and lots of opportunity to practice their skills. We will teach them all 4 swimming strokes and a full range of contrast activities. Each time they achieve a badge you will have the opportunity to order their personalised award directly to your home. We will give them the swimming foundation to take it right to the top level, who know they may well be the next Rebecca Addington or Adam Peaty but achievement aside we want all of our members to develop a lifelong love and confidence of being in the water and swimming.

Stages 7 – 10

We have junior squads at Zambezi where we introduce swimming training, diving, starts and turns. Rookie Lifeguard is also incorporated into the lessons and is great for personal lifesaving skills and emergency situations. We have a club scout from White Oak Swimming club that attends on a quarterly basis inviting those that are ready to join the cub team.
