Summer Swim Clinics
During the Summer we occasionally run short-term Summer Swim Clinics for Adult Beginners and Improvers.
We may also run a "Learn to Swim in a week" course, which is a short one week intensive swim course for adults who are either complete beginners with no swim skills or who are Improvers who have mastered the basics and now want to work on their techniques.
These courses/clinics are open to all, you do not need to be already attending adult lessons at The Watershed to take part and bookings can be made online via Eventbrite.
