shoreline bray summer intensive lessons

Summer Intensive Swimming Lessons take place throughout the month of July and August in Shoreline Leisure Bray. They are a week-long (Monday-Friday) 40min lesson. These daily lessons are a great way of improving technique and skills in just one week.

Our intensive swimming lessons allow for faster progression as the skills learned are carried forward to the next day with less time spent recapping the previous class. These lessons are ideally aimed at those swimmers who are already in lessons or are familiar with pool settings (i.e. been to a pool setting more than once and are comfortable in water) and looking to improve skills and/or gain more water confidence during these week-long lessons.

Our summer intensive lessons will cover levels 1, level 2 beginner and level 2 improver and take place at 3.10pm. Our small group numbers in our intensive lessons mean our swimming instructors can give more attention and deliver highly motivated swimming lessons to each swimmer.

We will update our 2025 bookings next June 2025
