Swimming lessons - recommendations please for 3 yr old

[Ginster]

Where do you recommend locally? At the age of 3 are the kids in on their own with the teacher or does the parent have to join them?

Daughter is happy and fairly confident in the water, "swimming" on her own with armbands - so want to progress to actually learning to swim properly.

Thanks!

Try Dulwich /Peckham /Camberwell pools. Not sure what age they go in alone with a teacher, I've a feeling it is 4+ for little groups without parents but ring or pop in. They're affordable and all nice pools, with decent instruction.

If you can get down there ok, the lessons at Beckenham Spa are very good. Their teaching pool has a moveable floor and they set it for toddlers so they can still put their feet down. Parents don't get in the water with them - they watch from the cafe!! The teachers are in the water with them, at that age.

Crystal Palace is another option. My three all have lessons there, and 3 year olds go in by themselves.

Thanks all!!
