“At Trilogy Active Swim School, we want to encourage all of our students to be safe, have fun and keep fit in the pool.” said John Fletcher, Managing Director of Trilogy Active. “We are a Swim School that is nationally accredited, and we are part of the Swim England Teaching Plan which provides a national framework for children to learn this important life skill as well as having fun.”

Swim lessons delivered by Trilogy Active are in a safe and fun atmosphere and all instructors are qualified with either Swim England or Swimming Teachers Association level.

 

Lessons are continuous and run for 48 weeks of the years meaning families can enrol at any time.

 

“Young people, families and the wider community recognise that Trilogy Active delivers a very popular swim school and that is why we are delighted to be increasing our offering in 2025.” John Fletcher continued.

 

“The Duston School pool will host our Swim School every Tuesday and Thursday from 4pm and covers Stages 1-7 and adult lessons.” he said. “With free parking on site and spectator seating it is the perfect setting for any family, but particularly those who live in the West of Northampton, to start or continue their swimming journey.”

 

The Trilogy Active Swim School at Weston Favell Academy takes please every Monday from 4.30pm and on Fridays from 4pm. It also covers Stages 1-7 and parking is free.

 

“Swimming lessons are becoming more popular than ever which is why at Trilogy Active we are delighted to be offering our Swim School from the West of Northampton, through the town centre and in the East of the town.” John Fletcher continued.

 

Trilogy Active Swim School also operates from the popular Cripps Recreation Centre based at Northampton General Hospital in the town centre, along with Danes Camp, Mounts Baths and Lings Forum.

 

The Government’s Department for Education advises that all children should be able to swim, unaided 25m by the end of primary school and use a range of strokes effectively.

 

They should also be taught about water safety and that Water safety is a vital life skill.

 

“The health of our communities is more important than ever, and swimming is a fun way for all the family to keep fit and well.” John Fletcher said. “For too many communities’ access is often poor and travelling a long distance to a pool is just not realistic.”

 

“That is why Trilogy Active Swim School is incredibly valuable.” he added. “With centres across the town we are accessible for all and look forward to welcoming more and more people to join us.”
