About this Event



8-Week Beginner Front Crawl Course

Fridays, 10:30am – Guildford Lido

This course is designed for complete beginners or anyone returning to swimming who wants to build confidence and learn front crawl properly from the ground up.

Across the 8 weeks we’ll focus on:

  • relaxed breathing and body position
  • efficient kick and timing
  • building confidence in the water
  • learning body position fundamentals
  • simple, repeatable stroke technique
  • short, manageable distances that gradually build your endurance

Each session is structured, supportive, and coached in a small group so you always know what to do and why you’re doing it.


Recommended swim kit

You don’t need everything on day one, but over the course you’ll benefit from:

  • Pull buoy
  • Kickboard
  • Fins
  • (Optional later) small technique paddles

You’ll receive a 20% discount code for Zone 3 when you sign up.


Course format
  • Small group (max 8 swimmers)
  • Clear session structure each week
  • Individual feedback within the group

The aim is to give you a relaxed, personal learning environment while still progressing each week.


Price

£160 per person for the full 8-week course.
