Activities for Adults

We recognise that not everybody learns to swim as a child and confidence can be an issue. Hydra Learn provides the start you need to either learn to swim, improve your technique or build your confidence through our adult learning programme.

Group lessons take palce at various times throughout the week and are geared towards having fun and improving fitness, as well as learning to swim. However if you need some extra support one-to-one lessons can also be arranged at any of the Hydra pools.
