Learn to Swim

Prescot's Learn to Swim program operates around Knowsley Leisure & Culture Park smaller 25m pool. The pool has a moveable floor which enables the children to learn in a safe environment. The higher groups may be taken into the main pool under extra supervision for work that cannot be done in the small pool.

The program follows Swim England's Learn to Swim framework for Stages 1 to 7.
