Swimming lessons in West Midlands

Aquarius Swim School, run by CV Life, teaches group lessons from age two and a half through to adult in the Alan Higgs Centre's 50 metre pool, with cheaper rates for Go CV cardholders.

Little Ripples groups babies and toddlers up to age four by readiness rather than strict age at Village Hotel Coventry, with mid-term starts and a flat £12 half-hour rate.

Puddle Ducks runs baby-to-age-10 lessons in a shallow, warm hotel pool at the LivingWell Health Club inside DoubleTree by Hilton Coventry, with a 1:4 ratio once children move up to Swim Academy.
