Three years ago I paid up front for a course at Hyndburn Sports Centre.
The lessons were daytime and straight after school swimming, so the pool reeked of chlorine after they all had a pee in it.
There were 4 of us beginners being taught at the same time by one instructor.
I had to give up after wrenching a shoulder muscle on the 3rd lesson, so I still can't swim, but not tempted to go back there again.

I've heard that Hyndburn Sports Centre's swimming lessons aren't much cop for children or adults, Margaret.
We use Johnson's Swimming School on Blackburn Road, Darwen.
Tel no 01254 704488
It is a small family business. The pool is 10m long and all one depth, no deep end. Very good for beginners who need to build their confidence up.
Yeh, took my lad to Johnsons when the father was running it, think the son there now and found them more than acceptable.
Course, depends how much money you are prepared to spend Howarth; the private gyms e.g. Dunk, JJB, Next Generation run excellent classes for youngsters, but obviously do cost.
hi howarth,my kids had to go on a waiting list for 6 months for swimming lessons, its pretty much the same everywhere, when you do get a place you automatically keep your place until you want to leave, thats why there is a lack of places availible, i know its a pain but if you can accept anytime anyday then the waiting time reducesHi does any one know of any were in blackburn or surrounding areas that teaches kids swimming
Ive rang daisy feild. and shad any there full at the moment?????

thats good then you will know her style of teaching... she tailors it to each individual but can be quite tough... but I believe the kids definately benefit
Big Fish Swim Skool is excellent. Check out their website www.bigfishswimskool.co.uk They have lessons at the Dunkenhalgh, QEGS and the Clarion. Lessons are really small and teachers are excellent and professional. Janine Willacy runs it, her mobile is 0774 302 9303
Although expensive.............! and long terms to be paid up front, Gt Harwood do them in smaller terms and cost a lot less.
Yes they are more expensive but I think they are worth it and better qualityquote]
Depends on you`re financial situation and what you expect for you`re money i suppose......
The problem is that the terms are to long, most places only do 6 week blocks, you pay up front with an extra bit on top to pay for you`re towel and use of the changing rooms at the Dunk, well i`d let mine get changed poolside and use our own towel and the Dunk could whistle for its pice of the pie........ i ain`t Rockerfella.....
Any relation.......?
I am afraid that I don't follow this thread.
When I was a youngster many moons ago we were involved in swimming gala's and competitive swimming.
I was taught to swim at Freckleton Street in Blackburn, Belper Street also in Blackburn and when we moved to Church at Accrington Swimming Baths.
I think swimming tuition should be free as it was in my day and if a good prospect....and there are many should be offered free lessons to progress.
Swimming was the only discipline I excelled in....I played Water Polo for a team of combined services whilst in the Army and enjoyed every encounter be it Chinese, Australian or New Zealanders who challenged.
I think swimming is then corner stone of:?
Come on ....get real........what are your thought's
