What to expect
This 15 week programme will take you from a few strokes of front crawl to swimming your first mile.
You will learn all the skills you need to develop an easy front crawl stroke so that you have the technique to allow you to swim further for less effort.
Each session is based on practicing drills, short sections of good swimming and then building up the distance slowly towards your first mile.
