swim@ Sunderland
Children's swimming lessons for ages three and up, run by the swim! brand at school pools in Castletown and Farringdon, with evening and weekend classes.
About swim@ Sunderland
swim@ Sunderland is part of the swim! group, the swimming lesson business co-founded by Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington. In Sunderland it runs children's lessons in two school pools outside school hours: Castle View Enterprise Academy on Cartwright Road in Castletown, and Farringdon Community Academy on Allendale Road, Farringdon (SR3 3EL), where a newly opened pool has been added.
Classes are for children aged three and over and are grouped by ability, with a structured progression through the levels. At Castle View lessons run on Monday to Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 7pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings; at Farringdon they run on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. Lessons run for most of the year rather than by school term. Places and the current timetable for each pool are booked through the swim.co.uk website.
