The progressive programme starts when your child is just a baby with our parent and child lessons right through to adult lessons and Boston Amateur Swimming Clubs (BASC) Masters swim sessions. Children can start our main group lessons when they are four years old. Adult lessons are for those aged 16 years and over. Each group has various criteria to be passed before the child can move up to the next group. Once passed there are badges and certificates for each group, which can be bought from the leisure pool reception. Information on criteria/ badges can be found on pages eight to eleven.
