We are a beautifully warm swimming pool offering swimming lessons for all ages. Situated in the grounds of Forrester Park Golf Club in Great Totham, we are just a few minutes drive from Maldon, Witham, Tiptree and surrounding villages. There is ample free parking on site.
A Swimming Class For You
The main categories are shown below but these are further divided so we can ensure the lessons are best suited to your child’s ability level.
Please contact us to discuss and arrange your free assessment lesson.
PARENT AND CHILD
These classes introduce your child to the water while having the security of a parent nearby. They are carefully structured, full of fun activities and songs.
PRE SCHOOL
These classes introduce children to their first independent swimming lessons in a safe, enjoyable environment. There are a maximum of four children per teacher.
SCHOOL AGED
Your child will develop water confidence, stroke technique and life saving skills in line with each child’s physical abilities. There are a maximum of five children per teacher.
1-2-1 LESSONS
We offer 1-2-1 lessons which allow the swimmer to receive the full attention of the teacher. This can help nervous swimmers, or can help the swimmer to master a particular skill. We are also able to offer 2-2-1 lessons for friends and family that wish to attend smaller private group lessons
ADULT
We offer 1-2-1 or small group lessons for adults. We can help non-swimmers learn the basics, help improve swimming technique or work on building confidence for nervous swimmers.
CRASH COURSES
Our Crash Courses run in the school holidays, and are a good way of boosting swimming skills and increasing confidence around water. The courses are suitable for both beginners and improvers with the children being divided into age and ability appropriate classes.
GOLD STA MARK ACCREDITED
By achieving Swim Star Swim School status, parents/guardians can be assured that our swim school is adhering to the highest standards of health and safety, business procedures, teaching and customer service; as recognised by the STA – a national governing body in swimming and an international award-winning organisation.
SWIMMING LESSONS
Our excellent teachers, comfortable surroundings and small class sizes ensure your child will make rapid progress in learning to swim. Our Swim School terms are broadly in line with the L.E.A. school timetable and we offer classes every day of the week, including weekends.
Learn to swim with Forrester Park
Designed from the outset with the intention of providing a warm, safe environment for children learning to swim, our purpose built pool has a flat floor and is maintained at a higher temperature than most. The in-pool staircase makes it easy to get in and out of the water, especially important if you are carrying your child. No struggling to climb ladders here!
