About Swim & Aquatics

Swim and aquatics businesses teach swimming and run water-based classes. The category includes swim schools for children and adults, private lessons, swim clubs and aquatic fitness classes held in a pool. Each school describes its own levels, instructors and pool.

On a first visit, a swimmer is usually placed in a level by a short check of what they can already do. Lessons are held in small groups or one to one, and parents often watch from the side. You bring a swimsuit, a towel and goggles if you use them, and some schools require a swim cap or a diaper for the youngest.

To compare schools, look at the class levels, the size of groups, the pool temperature the school states and the way instructors are trained. A school that explains how it keeps children safe, such as how many adults are in the water, gives you something to check. Look at the schedule and how make-up lessons work.

Before you enroll, ask what levels exist, how progress is shown and what the policy is for missed lessons. Tell the instructor about any fears of the water, health conditions or special needs. Water safety needs supervision at all times, and a lesson does not replace an adult watching a child.

This is general information, not medical advice.

Questions people ask

What age can a child start lessons?

Schools set their own ages and many have classes for young children with a parent in the water. Ask the school which class fits your child.

What should I bring?

A swimsuit, a towel and goggles if you use them. Some schools ask for a swim cap or a special diaper for the youngest. Check the school's rules.

How do I choose between a gym, a studio and a trainer?

A gym suits people who like to exercise on their own, a studio suits people who like classes and a trainer suits people who want a plan and guidance. Many people try more than one.

What should I ask before joining?

Ask about the length of the contract, the cost of joining, how to pause or end a membership and what is included in the price you are told.

Can I try before I join?

Many places offer a trial day or a first class. Ask for a tour at the time of day you would go to see how busy it is.
