Swimming lessons & fitness for the whole family!

Coral Magson Swim School (CMSS) have been running children's swimming lessons for almost 40 years & specialise in developing strong, confident swimmers - we are now able to offer both Adult & Baby / Toddler / Preschool, and Adult lessons too!

.All of our teachers & qualified assistants are also Aquaphobia Coaches (trained through the Institute of Aquaphobia), some are Advanced Aquaphobia Coaches (and Louise is an Aquaphobia Tutor Trainer too!) with a passion for helping individuals overcome any obstacles they may be facing to achieve their full potential ⭐

We have limited spaces in some of our lower level classes (with short waiting lists for others) and a few more opportunities at higher levels!

Baby, Toddler & Preschool

Birth to 4 years old ... in the pool with an adult

The earlier you can introduce a child to swimming the easier it is for them to develop a love of being in and around water, in a safe way.

We have experience in, and a strong underpinning for, supporting people with water related anxieties & fears - so if that is stopping you taking your little one to the pool we can help you both & limit the chance of anxiety passing across the generations.

Our Lessons at New Earswick Swimming Pool are currently:

🌀 Monday: 3pm (age tbc), 3.30pm (18-36 months)

🌀 Tuesday: 3pm (age tbc), 3.30pm (0-18 months) 

🌀 Wednesday: 3.15pm (age tbc), 3.30pm (3-4 years)

💙 Turning over (front/side/upright to back) ... "Float To Live"
