When can my child move from swimming lessons to a swim club?

    City pool swimming lessons focus on learning to swim and water safety, usually through a series of levels. A swim club offers competitive training and usually expects children to already swim continuously for a set distance in more than one stroke; many clubs hold an entry assessment. If your child has completed the higher lesson levels, enjoys swimming and is ready for more regular training, contact clubs to ask about entry requirements, training frequency and fees before deciding.

Forum rules

  • Share first-hand experience; say which year and age group.
  • No children's names, photos, schools or jersey numbers, and nothing that identifies a child.
  • Never name a referee. Coaches can be reviewed on their coach page; in the forum, talk about practices, not people.
  • No phone numbers, emails, addresses or screenshots of private messages.
  • Safety, abuse or harassment: contact the proper body. We don't judge such allegations in the forum.

Posts from new accounts are checked before they appear; established members post straight away and are checked afterwards. Reports that a post identifies a child, names a referee or makes a serious allegation hide it until a moderator decides. Full policy · Where to report safety concerns
