Try something new, fun and interesting this summer with Leisure World’s week-long Wet ‘n Wild courses – a taste of a different water sport every day! 

Grab a paddle and get started with canoeing, where you’ll learn the basics of canoe handling in the safe and supporting environment of their Fitness Pool. There’s a day of swimming personal survival and lifesaving to develop water skills and, when they’re ready, simulating an accidental fall into the water to apply their newly learnt skills wearing clothing.

They’ll splash right into diving, whether they aspire to follow in Tom Daley’s footsteps or simply just want to learn a new sport and impress their friends. A day of snorkelling will introduce new skills and help them get used to the equipment, and they can try their hand at water polo, a sport that combines the shooting skills of handball, the ball handling skills of basketball or netball, and the speed and stamina of swimming.

Wet ‘n Wild sessions will be running Tuesday 30 July to Friday 2 August (4 Sessions from £24) or Monday 5 to Friday 9 August (5 sessions £30), 9.15-10am. Suitable for children 7+ years who can swim at least 10 metres on their front and back.

We also have intensive swimming courses running from Tuesday 30 July to Friday 2 August (4 Sessions: Stage 1 & 2 £20 Stage 3 £24)) or Monday 5 to Friday 9 August (5 sessions: Stage 1 & 2 £25 Stage 3 £30), Stages 1 & 2: 9-9.30am or 9.30-10am and Stage 3: 9-10am.
