Polarised training splits your sessions: 80% easy aerobic work, 20% hard intervals.

• The 80% portion focuses on rhythm, stroke refinement, and steady breathing.
• High-intensity sessions include sprints, interval sets, and threshold work.
• Too much hard work leads to fatigue; too little slows progress.

The key is tracking total time at each intensity level over weeks.

In short: swim easy most of the time, push hard occasionally, and recover fully between hard efforts.

Swimming lessons in East Grinstead typically cost about £100/h per session.

This price can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability: complete beginner, returning swimmer, or stroke refinement
• The instructor's experience, qualifications, and teaching style
• The format you choose: one-off sessions, monthly plans, or crash courses
• Where you swim: council pool, hotel pool, or specialist swim school

Many instructors offer a reduced hourly rate when you book multiple lessons upfront.

Some tutors offer a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.

Children develop the coordination and attention span for structured swimming from about age 4.

• These early classes are about splashing, floating, and building confidence.
• Toddler lessons (ages 1–3) introduce basic safety skills through play and gentle activities.
• By age 5 or 6, many children swim a full width with a recognisable front crawl.

Some children thrive earlier; others need more time before structured lessons click.

The key message: early water exposure builds confidence, and formal instruction works best once coordination develops.
