    Hi
    Took my kids, 4 and 5 year old, to Loughlinstown pool last year for beginners lessons, as it turned out all the kids in the class had been on beginners lessons before and were more advanced now. Didnt stay for all the lessons as my kids were well behind the others and the instructors couldn't take the time to concentrate on them alone.
    Where would be the best place in SCD for kids beginner lessons. My kids love the pool and have no fear of water.

    Thanks

    If you were going to Loughlinstown would you go as far as Shoreline in Bray?
    I signed my lad up for lessons when he was 4 and I couldn't find fault.
    Very good with the new kids

    My youngest is in Castlepark with her school but they do lessons also, see here

    They are trained without arm bands and the instructors are in the pool with them. She has come on leaps and bounds with only half the term done.

    She was originally in loughlinstown, after 1 term she could have advanced but was too small to do. Next term she was well able for the group, got bored and was not really brought on as a result.

    Bluepool in Monkstown do kids lessons from beginners all the way up to lanes. All my kids learnt to swim there.

    You have probably left it too late for the current session - spaces on lessons are limited with priority going to those already in classes. You need to find out what date/time they are accepting registrations and go early to queue up

    the new term of lessons in Castle Park starts on Jan 27th, they may get your kids along for an assessment to judge what level to start them at.

    UCD does kids swimming lessons in their new sports complex. You don't have to be a member. Know a coupe of people who send their kids there. No idea how they compare price or quality wise to other venues but it is a full-size 50m pool fwiw.

    If Loughlinstown is convenient for you, have a chat with the staff, and see if they have any beginners groups starting soon.
