How long should my child stay in swimming lessons?

There is no set time for how long a swimmer should stay in the program, as competency develops differently for each individual. 

Learning to swim is an essential life skill, and it's important that swimmers continue with lessons until they are both confident and strong in the water. The National Governing Bodies of Swimming recommend children to complete the Learn to Swim Framework, which includes Swim England Stages 1-7 or Swim Wales Wave 1-7, to ensure they have the necessary skills to swim safely.
