Children’s Swimming Lessons to Coaching for Competition

York City Baths Club provides great opportunities within our very own learn to swim scheme, for beginners from age 4, through to competitive swimming training within our squad programme.

Lessons are held at St Peter’s School and New Earswick, and coaching sessions operate from Yearsley, St Peter’s, Energise and New Earswick pools.

Our Learn to Swim programme offers great value lessons for stages 1 to 9, following the Swim England Athlete Development Support Pathway, focussing entirely on developing lifelong skills in a fun and friendly swimming environment. Our swimmers go on to compete in a variety of competitions, from graded meets and Leagues to National Championships, and we continue to increase our participation in Regional and National competitions. We are extremely proud of our historic achievements – including 5 Olympians to date.

For those interested, we can also fund swimming teaching qualifications, in return for a voluntary time commitment.
