Live Life Aberdeenshire offer lessons for all ages and abilities. Our expert swimming instructors are fully qualified and are experienced in teaching all ages from new born babies to adults. We aim to provide a safe, fun and positive experience throughout all our classes.
We have lessons to suit all abilities so whether you or your child are complete beginners, you're looking to build your confidence in the water or you want to advance your skills and perfect your stroke, we have a class for you.
We operate as a continuous programme which means participants can now move up a level when they are ready and there is space, rather than waiting until the end of term as was the case previously. This approach will ensure we get the highest possible number of children through our swimming lesson programme and help us tackle a large waiting list.
