Colin Bull Swimming
We offer adult classes that range from beginner to advanced, so whatever your skill level we can help you to improve! We hold private lessons for children on weekends and private lessons for adults on weekday evenings. Lessons suitable for all abilities. I have been involved with swimming and diving for most of my life, having represented my county as a swimmer.

My daughter, Bobbie, started swimming with Colin in 2007 aged 8 and could not swim a stroke. Within her first term she gained confidence, water awareness and picked up the basic ability to swim 3 different strokes. She is now a confident deep end swimmer and can swim all 4 strokes using proper technique and style.

Parent/Guardian and child are in the pool together, learning through nursery rhymes and play. Building confidence and water awareness. Classes held after school, evenings and weekends 7 days a week. We follow the ASA and STA badge schemes giving each child a personal goal to reach each term, which is rewarded by a certificate and a cloth badge.

As a non swimming adult, it is very daunting attending lessons especially when you fear the water.
Prior to booking I asked lots of questions and was really reassured that the team would look after me, especially due to a disability.
Alistair our instructor has been amazing. Each week, small steps to expand that comfort zone and teach us not only to swim but to be safe in the water.
I love swimming! I’m still learning. I enjoy my Tuesday nights and my time in the water. Thank you so much for your patience and expertise.

Colin Bull swim school is second to none. There are a couple of cheaper options in the local area but having used them for my children & now Colin Bull I would say hand on heart it's wirth every penny & then some.

My son has cerebral palsy, and his instructors and assistants constantly ensure that he’s learning in a safe, positive and constructive manner. Couldn’t recommend the team enough.

Despite a few crash courses, my 11 year old son had never learnt to swim. We joined Colin Bull's Swimming in February 2018 and my son can now swim all strokes and has come on leaps and bounds in 9 months. Highly recommended!

I attend the adult masters on a Tuesday evening. It’s fantastic. Sam pushes me far more than I would myself in a pool and I can feel my stamina improving. I love the variety every week and I’m exhausted afterwards (in a good way)! My daughter also attends lessons with Ellie on a Saturday and she is fab. My daughter loves it.

I look my little boy for his first ever swimming lesson on Saturday, he loved it! His teacher Ellie was amazing and he can't wait to go again! I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you for making it so easy for me.

Both my daughter and son have swum with Colin for many years. They have become excellent swimmers my daughter has just completed her 2000m (80 lengths) distance badge. Fab family lessons where the children learn because they are happy and confident.

I have been taking my son now for approx a year and a half. He is doing so well and has grown in confidence in the water and also in his own ability. He enjoys his lessons as they are made fun. The staff are all lovely and always helpful.l I would highly recommend Colin Bull swimming.
