Horizon Leisure in Guildford has adopted the Swim England Learn to Swim programme, a national syllabus designed to improve swimming skills and water safety awareness for children and adults.

The programme, developed by Swim England, delivers approximately 1.8 million swimming lessons annually across the UK. It focuses on modern teaching techniques, emphasizing water safety, core swimming skills, and engaging learning experiences.

Michael Davies, Swim School Manager at Horizon Leisure, highlighted the programme’s benefits: “The Swim England Learn to Swim programme brings the most up-to-date teaching methods, helping children and adults develop essential water skills. It’s designed to be fun and awarding learners with nationally-recognised badges and certificates.”

The programme’s rollout at Horizon Guildford in Merrow reflects a broader commitment to improving swimming education and accessibility for the local community.

Horizon Leisure’s partnership with Swim England underscores the importance of ensuring swimmers of all ages and abilities have access to high-quality instruction. This initiative is expected to strengthen Guildford’s reputation as a hub for sport and fitness.
