At Oldham Active, we believe the ability to swim is an essential life skill, so much so that we offer FREE swim lessons to adults in Oldham.
We operate seven pools in Oldham and offer swimming lessons that have been developed to support adults in learning how to swim.
We have taught more than nine thousand adults to swim for free in our adult learn to swim pathway. The lessons, which kickstarted in 2012, aim to take non swimmers through to being able to swim 10 metres, as well as learning key lifesaving water skills.
We understand there are many barriers to people learning to swim, including a prohibitive cost. This was one of the reasons we introduced our free weekly 25-minute beginner group for adults.
