PACE SWIM follows the Swim England pathway; beginning with the Discovery Duckling Awards as babies/toddlers, to Duckling Awards as pre-schoolers and eventually Stage Awards from 1-8 as they move onto Mainstream lessons.
At PACE, we believe that your swimming journey doesn't stop when you can competently swim the four strokes. We want to know that we are sending your child into the world with both the strength and stamina to swim under any circumstances.
VIEW OUR SERVICES
At PACE SWIM, we believe that every child learns at a different pace and cater to those needs per individual, not per age-group. We will never hold back a child simply because they are younger but we will also not push another beyond their means because they are older.
All of our pools are private and quiet - with only one lesson running at a time, creating the perfect bonding & learning environment.
Lessons are capped at a maximum of 6 participants per session at The Dragon Pool, Jurston Barn, Brainwave and Mill Batch Farm Pool.

My daughter has been swimming with Yaz since she was only a few months old. Her teaching approach has meant my daughter (and I!) have absolutely fallen in love with swimming. It’s her favourite part of the week. My goal was for her to be water safe and have some fun at the same time. Mission accomplished!
Lauren H
Pace are amazing! Steve is a fabulous instructor, he knows exactly how to engage the children and make swimming exciting! You can tell how passionate Steve is about teaching children to swim & that really does make a huge difference! If you’re looking for a swimming teacher look no further!
Charlie T
Both our children swim with Yaz, she is absolutely amazing with them and they love her. Yaz is a skilled swim teacher, she is excellent with children and her calming, happy, smiling approach really puts them at ease. As toddlers, some weeks they are on it and some weeks they are not but she takes it all in her stride. Thank you Yaz for all you do!!
Sophie J
My 2yr old daughter has been swimming with Yaz for almost a year and it is the highlight of her week! She has learnt so much in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommended.
Tory O
I went to PACE SWIM to improve my confidence in the water & competence to swim efficiently - Hayden is a really fab teacher, encouraging and enthusiastic. Would highly recommend!
Anita J
Our daughter has being swimming with Yaz since she was very little. Yaz is so engaging with the children and they all have a lot of fun. She is caring and nurturing and gives extra support to any little ones that are having a wobble. The pool and changing areas are always clean. We really look forward to our lessons at PACE SWIM.
Maria H
I couldn’t recommend PACE SWIM enough. Yazmin really gets kids, she knows just how to engage them during a lesson. Absolutely amazing.
Jenna R
My children have been swimming with Yazmin for several months and have just started swimming with Steve. Both Yaz and Steve's kindness and patience is second to none and my children love their lessons. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Elishia M
Both of my boys swim with Yaz. One being a very confident swimmer and the other being quite shy and at times quite unconfident. Yaz does the most amazing job at catering for both their needs and each week I can see their confidence growing. The lessons are so well structured that the boys have so much fun the whole way through.
Ellis M
Yazmin jn Wellington is amazing! Great location, considers each child's ability as an individual without having to ask. spends the time to ensure everyone is doing well, friendly, intimate and relaxed. My boy absolutely loves his classes and they are flexible with your routine. Amazing value for money and will continue forever
Coral D
My daughter is an anxious little girl and gets easily upset when it comes to change. Since we moved our daughter to swim with Yaz at Mill Batch we have seen nothing but growth in her swimming abilities as well as her confidence within herself. Yaz's style of teaching is amazing and I cannot recommend her and the team enough.
Amy M
Yazmin and her team are amazing! My son had fallen out of love with swimming in public pool lessons. Since starting with PACE he now loves swimming again and has made excellent progress. The lessons are fun, engaging and suitably challenging. I would definitely recommend PACE to anyone looking for lessons!
Caroline D
We have been swimming with Yaz for 4 months and she is loving her swimming lessons. She has learnt so many swimming skills through fun and playful activities. She especially loves listening to Yaz sing. Thank you Yaz for putting us at ease and for boosting Evie's confidence through your wonderful teaching style.
Becca P
I take my two year little old girl on Thursday mornings with Yazmin and we both absolutely love it! Yazmin is so friendly and welcoming. We are both made to feel very comfortable and relaxed. You can tell all the sessions are always incredibly well thought out and structured but such good fun. Would highly recommend to anybody!
Kelly W
My little boy loves swimming with Yaz and Steve. Each week we have seen him make progress and gain more confidence as well as respect for safety in/around the pool. Both teachers are amazing with the children and very engaging. The lessons are the perfect balance of encouragement and fun whilst learning new valuable skills.
