New Forest Swim Academy provides swimming lessons for children and adults at a range of ability levels, from non-swimmers to advanced swimmers looking to improve. Lessons are planned to suit individual needs and are available as group classes or private one-to-one and one-to-two sessions. The academy also offers Rookie Lifeguard safety sessions alongside its swimming classes.

The academy announces its return for 2026 and invites new and returning learners to book classes and continue their swimming journey. Private sessions can also be arranged for groups such as a child’s friends, football club or school friends. The website notes that someone arranging a qualifying private session may receive a place free.

Pool locations listed by New Forest Swim Academy are Durlston Court School in Barton on Sea and Ballard School in New Milton. Families can contact the academy by email or phone, or use its website to explore classes and make a booking.
