FREE water safety and learn to swim lessons - limited places left

As part of our Swim Safer campaign, we're offering FREE five-day learn to swim lessons for non-swimmers aged 6-14, as well as FREE water safety sessions for swimmers aged 8-14. The places are now limited - so make sure you book to avoid missing out.

Bookings for all sessions can be made by emailing swimsafer@stoke.gov.uk or calling 01782 236210.

The phone line will be staffed from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday – outside of these hours, please leave a voicemail and a member of staff will contact you on the next working day.

The sessions are extremely popular and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

The FREE learn to swim sessions (non-swimmers, six to 14 years old) cover five days, from Monday to Friday, with each session lasting 30 minutes.

Lessons will take place at Fenton Manor Sports Complex and New Horizons Leisure Centre on the weeks starting July 22, 29, and August 5, 12, 19 and 25. Advanced booking is required.

The FREE, 30-minute water safety sessions are for swimmers aged eight to 14. They will run between 4pm and 5pm on Sundays July 21 and 28, August 4, 11, 19 and 25, and September 1 at Fenton Manor Sports Complex. Advanced booking is required and each child can attend one session.

Swim Safer is a partnership between Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, Staffordshire Police, The Sentinel and StokeonTrentLive, and the Royal Life Saving Society UK. It's the biggest ever water safety campaign of its kind in the city.
