Just wondered really as have just enrolled my 2 in lessons 10 weeks for £75 each. Wondered if this was good bad or normal. Only wondered as it is more expensive than gymnastics which is renowned for being an expensive hobby.

£14 for half hour 1-1. DD used to do the group 6-1 sessions at about £3/4 for half hour but thought she'd be better in 1-1 as easily distracted. It has made a big difference. From swimming very little, though stayhing afloat, she can do front crawl/back stroke & breast stroke and has started to do a standing 'dive' all since about May. Sorry you didn't want the low down on my dd's swimming but am pleased with her progress. We are moving abroad in a few weeks and wanted her to be confident as i'm not sure if/when she will be able to have lessons.

Ours are expensive, but small groups. £8 or near as damn it per half hour lesson, but only 3 in DD's group, 6 in DS's and the teaching is amazing, they learnt to swim very quickly with this new school and adore the teachers who are real stars, so I would not begrudge them it, as my children (previously terrified) now love the water and are learning to be safe.

Huge waiting list for the school, you have to fight to get a place, so on the basis of supply and demand, the pricing fits the market!

£160 per term but that's for 2 x 30 mins a week (swimming club)

usually about £60 for half hour lesson a term, depending how long the term is. It is cheaper if you are a member of the leisure centre.

When DS was at a swimclub basildonbond we only paid about £50 a term and that was for up to 5 swims a week.

10 x 30 mins lessons £41 at local leisure centre. DS gets a pass with that entitling him to free leisure swimming at all other times (with a paying adult as he's not 8 yet).
