Our swimming programme is for children in full time education who are able to follow instructions in a small group and aims to establish healthy and safe behaviour in a happy environment.
Children are taught water safety, development of water confidence and swimming ability by following structured and progressive activities.
All classes are held at the swimming pool at the
Murrayfield Primary School .
Classes work towards gaining 7 different stages of increasing difficulty, with an emphasis on water skills and safety. All instructors are experienced and fully qualified.
Classes only run during school term times and need to be booked prior to starting. Booking forms can be downloaded by clicking the link on the home page.
The classes offered by Holbrook Swim are self-financing and non-profit making. It is therefore essential that
pupils are booked in and you have discussed how you are going to pay with the administrator.
Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis and a place on the previous
term's sessions will not guarantee one this term. We can only issue refunds if the
classes are cancelled.
