Make a SPLASH at Kippie

This post was last updated: 17 March 2025

Did you know astronauts train by swimming? Yup, they float around in neutral buoyancy pools pretending they are in space. While we can’t offer you a trip to the moon, we can offer some out-of -this-world water classes right here at Kippie!

Why Swim?

Swimming uses every major muscle in your body, so it’s like a full body workout without the sweat. Think of it as the ultimate multitasking exercise – you get fit, toned and you feel amazing, all while pretending you’re a dolphin.

Kippie’s Aquatic Team

Kippie’s team are passionate about swimming, they practically have gills! They are here to share the joys and benefits of swimming with everyone, young or old.

Start ’em Young

Kippie’s preschool lessons, held every Tuesday, are the perfect way to introduce your little ones to the water. Just by playing with your baby or toddler in the pool, you are already turning them into mini Michael Phelps. Our classes focus on building water confidence, teaching basic water safety skills and making sure everyone has a splashing good time.

As your kids grow, we will teach them all the swimming strokes – yes, even the Butterfly! By the time they start school, they will be ready to join Kippie’s Learn to Swim classes and show off their skills.

Learn to Swim

Kippie’s Learn to Swim (LTS) classes are available Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school, and Saturday mornings. These classes are designed to help your kids become confident swimmers, so they impress their friends and you too.

Adult Lessons and Aqua Aerobics

Swimming isn’t just for kids. Our aquatic team also offers adult lessons as its never too late to learn!

If swimming isn’t your thing but you still want to enjoy the law-impact benefits of water exercise, join Angela for her deep water aqua aerobics sessions on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Its like a dance party in the pool but no dance skills required!

Loraine’s experience

At a very young age, I was involved in a traumatic experience in a swimming pool. This resulted in me having an extreme fear of water and what I envisaged could/would happen to me in a swimming pool. Over 60 years later, it was time to conquer my fear and learn to swim – right here at Kippie!

My journey continues a bit like a rollercoaster – fortunately more ups than downs. There is absolutely no doubt that I would not be continuing without the tuition, support, and encouragement of all pool staff at Kippie, both in respect of teaching and lifeguarding.

I start4ed this journey alone from from day 1 in the pool the amount of teaching and staff who have ‘got my back’ literally has grown and grown.

Jackie and Ada’s experience

Last term I signed up for a space in Sue’s parent and toddler class on Tuesdays. My grandaughter was a little unsure to start but quickly came to love each session. Every class was filled with so much fun, interaction with other kids and a basic learning of strokes, as well as lots of splashing around. Sue’s classes are perfect for developing confidence for the little ones. Highly recommend!

Hilary’s experience

My son and I started the parent and toddler lessons with Sue in 2021. We both loved her funny songs and her enthusiastic and fun approach to swimming and confidence-building games. Going into the next level of lessons was easy for my daughter with the experience and foundation skills she learned from Sue. I am very sad to say goodbye to Sue but I know my children have had the best start to swimming and I have also made some great new friends too!

Ben’s Experience

Having two children attend Sue’s swimming classes, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Both of my children instantly felt at ease with her welcoming and fun attitude to her classes. My son’s progress was instant and his confidence was nurtured, setting him up brilliantly for the LTS classes.
