Swimming lessons in London
Compare children’s and adult lessons at two London pools, including age and swimming-distance conditions.
Choose between child and adult lesson routes
Oasis lists children’s lessons and adult beginner, improver and coaching, group or individual. London Fields lists children’s development and academy routes plus adult coaching. Its Rookie option is for ages 8 and over and requires the swimmer to manage 25 metres, so check that entry point first.
Check pool conditions before a family visit
Oasis has indoor and 27.5 metre heated outdoor pools. London Fields is a heated 50 metre outdoor pool open year-round. There, under-8s and non-swimmers need an adult in water at a 1:2 ratio. Check lesson stage and supervision rules together.
