Love Swimming’s Easter Holidays London Family Fun Guide

If Spring weather has not quite arrived, the holidays certainly have. And there are still a few places left in our fast-track swimming scheme.

Fast-track swimmingThese classes are a great way to work on technique. Daily practice for five sessions in a row will allow your child to focus on development as they are able to quickly consolidate what was taught in the previous lesson. Also, knowing that they are going once a day for part of their holiday makes the lessons a little bit more fun.
