LDI offers Happy Hippos programme from babies to 4 years developing water confidence with parents in the pool. 


 Children then progress into our Foundation stage using a swim fin or Aquaplane for aiding their body position. Then they progress through the Swim England Learn to Swim Stages as they learn to travel and master each of the 4 strokes.


Did you know… If your swimmer has passed Stage 4 we can offer progression all the way through our Development, Bronze, Silver and Gold Swim squads. (see info below)

If your swimmer wishes to continue with us after Stage 5 but not join our swim squads we run our LDI Aquatic Skills sessions which cover swimming for fitness, diving, water polo and Rookie Lifeguard.

A number of our swimmers Stage 3 upwards also take part in synchronised swimming around their swim lessons.
