Brighton’s Low‑Cost Swimming School for Children and Young Swimmers
Can Your Child Swim?
Being able to swim is a life‑saving skill, especially living so close to the sea. For over 18 years Balfour Swimming School has supported children in our Balfour community — helping absolute beginners through to advanced young swimmers.
We are now proud to open these lessons to the wider community, offering low‑cost, high‑quality teaching for children of all abilities.
(Full session details are available on the Lessons page.)
