Summer 2026 Intensive Swimming Lessons
We’re excited to announce that our 5‑day Intensive Summer Courses are now open for booking!
Many swimmers love keeping up their lessons during the holidays - and these courses are a fantastic way to stay active, build confidence, and make real progress.
Let’s get your place secured.
Dollar Academy & Graeme High School
Why Choose an Intensive Course?
Intensive courses are a brilliant way to kick‑start a swimmer’s journey, accelerate progress, or focus on a specific skill needed to pass their current level.
And here’s the exciting part: Most swimmers remember around 25% of a once‑a‑week lesson… but a huge 75% when they attend daily.
That’s an incredible boost in learning pathways - almost half a term’s worth of lessons packed into one week. The result? Faster progress, stronger skills, and a big jump in confidence.

Booking Information
All spaces are booked on a first come, first served basis.
Each class runs for 30 minutes, and you’ll be asked to book using your child’s name and current swimming ability. Please avoid selecting higher or lower ability levels to match friends or family - this can disrupt learning, and classes will be reorganised on the first day to ensure every swimmer is placed correctly for their progress and safety.
All bookings must be made through our website, and full payment is required to secure your place.
Booking is essential as places are limited.
