Toddler swimming lessons in Leicester

Puddle Ducks runs parent-in-the-water baby and pre-school classes in a warm, shallow pool inside Abbey Sports and Leisure, a private club in Frog Island.

Start2swim runs 10-week courses at De Montfort University's public leisure centre, from parent and baby classes through to adult beginners, all year round rather than just in term time.

Swim Leicester's council-run pathway at Leicester Leys covers baby classes to adult stages across four pools, at around half the price of the city's private franchises.
