🌟 Aqua Stars Learn to Swim Camp is Back for Summer 2026! 🌟

Following the success of previous years, we are delighted to announce the return of our Intensive Learn to Swim Camp for children this summer.

📍 Location: Coleraine Grammar School Swimming Pool
📅 Dates: Monday 3rd – Friday 7th August 2026

🏊 Session Times:
•⁠ ⁠Session 1: 10.30am – 11.30am
•⁠ ⁠Session 2: 11.30am – 12.30pm

Our week-long camp is open to all children in P3–P7 and is designed to help young swimmers build confidence, develop essential swimming skills, and improve water safety awareness in a fun and supportive environment.

We are committed to making our camp as inclusive as possible and welcome children of all abilities. Parents and carers are encouraged to let us know of any additional support requirements so we can help every child participate safely and enjoyably.

💷 Cost: £40 per child for the week - thanks to funding from Sport NI, the cost of the camp will be heavily subsidised for children eligible for free school meals or other financial assistance, reducing the cost to £5 per week.

We are also pleased to welcome more confident swimmers who would like to refine their technique and further develop their understanding of water safety.

📲 To register your interest, simply scan the QR code on the flyer.
