With swimming pools around the country opening back up, over 18’s now allowed to return their club training, and swimming lessons starting again; for this week’s episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast we talk through the stages you can get involved in swimming and wanted to explain that it’s never too late to start swimming.
It really can be at any stage of your life. For example: having swim lessons as a child in the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme, having swimming lessons for beginners, or having adult swimming lessons.
We know some people may have a water phobia or are too self-conscious to start swimming for the first time, but it’s a fantastic life-saving skill that we’re sure you’ll enjoy the more you do it!
We also talk about the journey of swimming lessons for kids and as well as giving some swimming lessons beginners tips for those of you that haven’t been to any swimming lessons before.
