Give the Gift of Swimming

Home > News > Give the Gift of Swimming This Christmas

Plus a FREE WaterWise Goodie Bag!

Christmas is often filled with toys that get forgotten, games that collect dust and presents that don’t last beyond the festive season…This year, why not give a gift that truly matters—the gift of swimming!

For families living along the coast, swimming isn’t just a fun activity; it’s an essential life skill. Knowing how to stay safe in and around the water builds confidence, independence and lifelong enjoyment. And for children, the earlier that confidence grows, the better.

A Meaningful Gift

Throughout December, we’re giving away a FREE WaterWise Goodie Bag to the first 10 people who sign up at each venue. Each bag is filled with fun and practical items to kick-start their swimming journey, including:

  • A WaterWise drawstring bag

  • Swim cap

  • Pufferfish float

  • Age-appropriate goggles

  • Wiggle fish toy

It’s the perfect starter kit for any young swimmer!

How the Offer Works

To keep things simple, here’s how you can secure your goodie bag and get started:

  1. Visit your local venue’s reception in person.
    Sign-ups for this offer should be completed face-to-face. However, we appreciate some people may prefer to do this online so we will also accept online sign-ups but we recommend emailing us in advance to ensure we still have enough goodie bags! 

  2. Be among the first 10 sign-ups in December.
    Each venue has just 10 goodie bags available—once they’re gone, they’re gone! 

  3. Sign up to WaterWise lessons on a direct debit basis – £26 a month.
    On sign-up there will be the join up fee of £20 and then a pro-rata payment. For example, if you sign up for the child to start on the 1st January, there will be a payment of £46 to be paid on sign-up and then the direct debit will automatically be taken out from February. This allows you to spread the cost evenly across the year while keeping lessons consistent and easy to manage.

  4. Choose your start date anytime before 31st January!
    Whether you want to begin right away or after the festive season when everyone is back in routine, the choice is yours!

The Perfect Christmas Gift

Instead of adding more toys to the pile, you can give something that shapes their future—confidence, safety, fitness, and joy in the water.

A year of swimming lessons means:
✔ Building essential water skills
✔ Developing strength and coordination
✔ Learning coastal safety
✔ Boosting confidence in and out of the pool
✔ Creating memories that outlast any toy

This Christmas, give a gift that they’ll carry with them for life.

So this Christmas, we’re calling on all grandparents, parents, guardians, and even family friends—choose a gift that truly matters.

Invest in their confidence, their safety, and a life skill they’ll carry forever. Give the gift of swimming this Christmas.
