Childrens Swimming Lessons

    Hi All,

    I am looking to get swimming lessons in Naas over the summer for my two children (6 & 8yo) and was wondering if I could get recommendations on where to go.

    Can anyone recommend a good teacher? I read a review about the Osprey saying pool wasn't the cleanest. Someone else said to me to consider a pool with a shallow end that gradually gets deeper which gives non swimmers a bit of confidence.

    Would really appreciate any advice. :)

    Thank you.

    Gym Plus in Monread run kids classes for all levels. Our twins are younger than your two, and are doing well in the level 1 classes.

    All the pools in Naas are fine. The osprey is just slightly shorter than the rest at about 19m

    The only pool that gets deeper is k-leisure. The others are standard 1.2m gym pools.

    Not sure how the summer goes but once term time starts it's a good idea to put your names down for all 3 pools. The lessons at reasonable times on reasonable days are generally booked out so you'll go on a waiting list. Accept the first offer when your time comes.

    Teacher quality will vary greatly at each place, you might be lucky or unlucky.
