Adults across Telford and Wrekin are being encouraged to build confidence in the water as Telford & Wrekin Council Leisure launches a new programme of Adult Swim4Life swimming lessons at leisure centres across the Borough.

The Adult Swim4Life programme is designed specifically for adults of all abilities, including complete beginners and those who may feel nervous or out of practice.

The lessons support learners to progress through Swim England’s nationally recognised Learn to Swim programme, helping them develop confidence, skills and water safety at their own pace.

The programme begins with a dedicated stage for those new to swimming or lacking confidence, before offering clear progression through further stages as ability grows. Lessons take place in a relaxed and supportive environment, with small class sizes to ensure individual attention.

Each session lasts 60 minutes and runs at a range of days and times, making it easier for adults to fit lessons around work and family life.

Adult Swim4Life lessons will run at:
- Oakengates Leisure Centre – Saturdays, 6.15pm–7.15pm
- Newport Swimming and Fitness Centre – Wednesdays, 8pm–9pm
- Abraham Darby Sports and Leisure Centre – Fridays, 6.30pm–7.30pm

Adults who sign up and pay by direct debit also receive free access to public swimming sessions at any Telford & Wrekin Council leisure pool, giving them additional opportunities to practise and build confidence.
