Never miss a swimming lesson with our catch-up system.
Not able to make your usual lesson? Our catch-up system is a great bonus that not many swim schools offer. From your own parent portal you can manage your own absences and book a catch-up lesson to suit your availability, so you will never need to miss a lesson.
If you have any questions about our absence policy or accessing your parent portal, please get in touch on 01325 965965 and we'll be able to help. Catch up lessons are available to everyone with a current monthly subscription.

In our swimming lessons we use woggles / noodles and floats. Woggles encourage your little one to find their own body position and balance in the water. As they do, their independence and confidence builds and youβll notice them becoming more active and effective at moving through the water.
Woggles also allow you to remove your support more easily whilst maintaining your childβs confidence.
They can be a bit βmarmiteβ but please keep offering them and remain positive yourself whenever you see the woggles coming out. We promise you itβs worth it and youβll see when they get to that independent stage! π€

π πββοΈ Did you know we swim all year round?
Unlike lots of other swimming venues, our lessons donβt stop during the school holidays or on bank holidays. For young children, small gaps when learning to swim can have a big impact on their confidence. Thatβs why we chose a venue which allows us to continue our lessons all year round β seven days of the week!
We have an online booking system so you can check class availability and book your space online at thehappyswimcompany.com. Where space is available you can get started straight away!
