At Alison Tam Swimming, we offer a range of adult swimming courses designed to accommodate different skill levels, from complete beginners to those looking to improve their technique. Our goal is to help you gain confidence in the water and enjoy swimming as a lifelong activity.

​

Which Course Should I Take?

Our courses are designed for those that are able to submerge. If you have intense fear of the water, you may consider taking privates lessons first.

Drop In Classes

From time to time we may have drop in classes available. They will follow the names of the courses above or it may be a mixed level class focusing on front crawl drills only, such as Adult Stroke Technique. You can book these directly below or from the relevant Drop In Classes menu.

​

​​Private Lessons:

If you’re unable to comfortably keep your head submerged for at least 5-10 seconds, we recommend starting with private lessons. This personalized approach allows you to build confidence and address any challenges before joining a group class.

​

Swimming is a low-impact exercise that helps with rehabilitation for various injuries. Our private lessons are designed to cater to your specific needs.

​

To facilitate your learning experience, please share your swimming history, any significant events that may have impacted your comfort in the water, your motivation for learning, and your availability. This information will help us match you with the right coach for your journey.
