How much are your kids swimming classes?

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Appreciate the cost of living but we’ve had two price rises in a year and it’s now £12 per half hour lesson a week. Times 2 children, if there’s 5 weeks in a month it’s costing me an arm and leg. Does this seem steep to what everyone else is paying?

29/month, 30 minute weekly sessions. Local authority run leisure centre

Rebecca adlington said when they can swim 25 metres of all 4 strokes.

Should add ours arent 1:2:1 classes and the ratios depend on the stage. So my youngest on stage 2 has max 4 I think and my eldest in stage 5 has about 8. Hard to tell as who turns up can vary over the holidays- however at £24 a week for them I’m rarely going to miss a class my choice!

£8.25 for 30 minutes, there are about 7 in her class

Our’s have just gone up to £18 per half hour lesson. It’s one teacher with 2 children.

27/month for 30 mins per week, plus can use the pool for free in between. London.

DC2 has 2 hours of coached pool time a week for 17/month.

Our leisure centre is £50 a month for 30 minute weekly lesson so 12.50 per half an hour.

My ds swim club is £36 a month for weekly 45min session (stage 5/6 level). Not sure what club learn to swim prices are.

Clubs are often cheaper than leisure centres IME anyway but have more limited time slots available.

I thought the £162 a month I pay for his training was extortionate but for 18 hours swimming and 3 hours S and C (a week!) I’m realising it’s a bargain 😂

£30 2:1 half an hour

Group lessons at our local council pool it’s £32 per month. Central Scotland. Lesson is 40mins and max group is 8 kids. There’s rarely more than 6 and often less than that at a time. We have used an other company which were almost double that price also for group lessons and to be honest the council ones are better.

£61 for ten 30 minute lessons. Max of 6 in class. Paid by the block. Run 50 weeks a year.

I pay £72 per term for my dd, works out around £9 per 30 minutes lesson. It's at a private school pool and there are 6 dc in her class. I think it's reasonable but 30 mins seems short. I'd like 1:1 lessons but probably £££

1:1 is £38 per half hour (disabled DC3 needs 1:1 so we suck it up but we do have a PAYG arrangement so only pay when we attend and can cancel up to 24h without charge)

DC1 is in group lessons and it's approx £9 per half hour session (we pay monthly). Class can be up to 8 people but it's currently at 4.

DC2 is in a higher level and her lessons are 45 minutes but it works out as about £12 per session (again we pay monthly). Class is massive, maximum 20 people but they have access to the whole pool for their sessions and 2 teachers. It's competition level.

We're in London

£11 for a 30 minute lesson.

We were doing water babies and it was £20per 30 mins. We go to our David Lloyd lessons now and it’s £10 per 30 mins

£30.50 per half hour, group lessons 😩

£40 a month and they run for 50 weeks of the year and are located on the Surrey/ London border. The ratios depend on the stage- up to 6 per class up to stage 3. Then 8 per class up to stage 6 and I don’t know beyond that…..

This is at a local authority pool and they are the best run swimming lessons I’ve ever experienced in 17 years of parenting (including spendy private ones).

£42 per lesson, 30 mins 2:1. Pool is in the leisure part of a 4 star hotel in an expensive bit of London zone 2. Some terms we've been lucky and not had a second pupil sign up, so DD has had 1:1 lessons instead of 2:1 (but paying the 2:1 price). Currently paying for 2 dcs every week.

£13 for 30 mins. 6 children per class with one swimming teacher and one TA.

£170 for a 10 week course. So effectively £17 per class which is 30 mins. Up to 8 in class in a hotel pool so warm temperature water. On average 5-7 kids turn up each week (Swimkidz Berkshire)

We pay £260 a term for weekly 30 minute lessons (in small groups).

If it’s part of a swimming club, the learn to swim sessions help subsidise the club swimmers. I pay £78 a month for DD who gets 6 hours a week over 5 sessions, although there are 25 odd in her squad. I remember thinking how expensive it seemed when she was in the learn to swim stage.

£8.50 per half hour. But there’s about five in the group. Sometimes less.

In Ireland, €55 for 30 minutes instruction, plus €8 entrance fee. Impossible to get into a group class so 2:1 it is 😭

£30 for 30 minutes, one to one

Local leisure centre, £26 per month for 30mins weekly. North west
