At Little Fish Swim School Norwich, we understand that every person learns differently and progresses at their own pace.
With experience spanning everything from building basic water confidence to nurturing competitive swimmers, we tailor our approach to suit a wide range of abilities.
Our unique swim plan is designed to support steady, individual progress, without the pressure of termly assessments that take time away from fun and learning.
Instead, we move swimmers forward when they’re ready, ensuring a supportive and enjoyable experience at every stage.
Most Popular Classes
Beginners Learn to Swim Classes
Lessons focus on building water confidence through fun, repetition, and gradual progression. Children start by swimming 10 metres on their front and back using floats, and gradually work towards 10 metres unaided. They’ll also learn to retrieve objects from the bottom of the pool and jump in safely and confidently. Once they’ve mastered these essential skills, they’ll be awarded their 5m and 10m certificates, and will be ready to move on to the next stage of their swimming journey.
Middle Class
Our Intermediate Class maintains a maximum instructor-to-swimmer ratio of 10:1. To join, children must have completed either our Beginner Learn to Swim program or reached Level 3/4 through prior lessons. This class builds on foundational skills by introducing breaststroke, dolphin/butterfly strokes, skulling techniques, and deep-water orientation. It’s designed to ease swimmers into deep water comfortably while boosting the confidence every child deserves.
1 Hour Swim sessions
Perfect for children who simply love the way swimming makes them feel. These sessions provide an opportunity to enjoy the water, build fitness, and take pride in their swimming skills—all while having fun. Swimmers can attend up to three sessions per week as they build stamina and confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment.

A Swim School Built Around Families

No two children build confidence or develop technique at exactly the same speed. Instead of allowing termly assessments to take time away from learning, our unique swim plan focuses on steady progress, visible improvement and moving swimmers forward when their skills are secure.
