Indoor Swimming

Our Move More Indoor Swim programmes are designed for islanders who need support on their swimming journey.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t swum before and are feeling unsure about getting in the water – we’re here to help and support you at the start of your swimming journey.

Our programmes are designed to progress your swimming ability gradually. Our classes are a great way for you to meet new people, and a great way to improve your fitness.

MOVE MORE SWIM – FOR BEGINNERS

A swim programme for nervous adult swimmers or non-swimmers, who are looking to gain confidence in the pool.

Sessions will take place at Les Quennevais Sports Centre small swimming pool – in the shallow, warm pool to begin with, where you will be within standing depth. The classes will focus on gaining confidence in the water, along with basic swimming skills (aided and unaided) such as floating, kicking and learning how to breathe.

There will be one session per week, which will take place either on a Wednesday or a Friday (depending which day you select when booking).

MOVE MORE SWIM – FOR INTERMEDIATES 

A swim programme for people who may have learnt to swim a long time ago and haven’t swum for a while, or for those who may not be fully confident swimming in a pool. It’s also for people who may want to improve their range of swimming strokes, techniques, skills, and fitness.

Sessions on a Wednesday will take place in the main pool at Les Quennevais Sports Centre and sessions on a Friday in the main pool at The AquaSplash, which are both 25m long and 2m deep. People who wish to participate in these classes will need to be confident in the pool out of their depth, and be able to swim from one end of the pool to the other (the length of the pool is 25m).

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

To get started you will need some comfortable swimwear, a swimming hat and swimming goggles. If you don’t have your own swimming hat, don’t worry as our swimming team will have some spares for you. We also recommend that women tie their hair back, even when wearing a swimming hat, as it makes it easier to put them on.
