Hi, I'm Charlotte. I teach private swimming lessons for babies and children at Victoria Leisure in Southport. Whether your little one is nervous, just getting started, or ready to push on — we go at their pace, not anyone else's.
I started Swim With Charlotte because I wanted children to actually enjoy learning to swim — not just get through it. In a group class, it's hard to go at one child's pace. In a 1-to-1, everything is about your child. I've watched nervous children who wouldn't put their face in the water become genuinely confident little swimmers. That never gets old.
Two simple options — private one-to-one lessons, or small weekend groups
A completely private lesson just for your child — no other children, no distractions. Available any day of the week, 8am to 7pm. Your child works with their instructor for the full 30 minutes, entirely at their own pace. Best option for nervous swimmers or anyone wanting to progress quickly.
Small group sessions on Saturdays and Sundays only. Maximum of 6 children per session — small enough for every child to get proper attention, and great for kids who enjoy a bit of company in the water.
You are in the water with your little one, building water confidence together in a lovely warm pool. Gentle, unhurried and led entirely by your baby's mood on the day. Run as a private 1-to-1 session.
Availability changes week to week — send an enquiry and I'll let you know what's free.
We also run small group sessions every Saturday and Sunday, all day from 8am to 7pm. Sessions are 30 minutes with a maximum of 6 children — small enough that every child still gets proper attention. At £12 per child, it's a brilliant option if your little one enjoys being around other kids in the water.

Qualified, DBS checked and genuinely passionate about helping children feel at home in the water
I've been teaching babies and children to swim for years and I genuinely love every lesson. I started Swim With Charlotte because I believe kids learn best when it's relaxed, fun and completely on their terms.
