Swimming Lessons

Our four leisure centres in Hambleton at Bedale, Thirsk, Stokesley and Northallerton offer a full range of swimming lessons. From tots to adults; beginners to lifesavers; from that first splash to the perfect tumble turn, Hambleton District Council is committed to teaching swimming. Across the district we teach over 2000 children each week. We offer a variety of class types and operate proven swimming schemes to ensure continued development of swimming as a recreational activity or towards competition level.
