Meet your swimming team at Marl Pits Leisure Centre

"I brought my son for his first swim before he started his lessons with school. I was very impressed with how organised and clean everything was and the lifeguard took the time to speak to my son about what to expect when he came with school and it was a pleasant experience for him. He’s been since with school and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!"

– Falon

Once the swimmer has developed the core range of skills required to be confident, competent, and safe in water, they may have the choice to participate in different aquatic disciplines.
