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

• The 80% portion focuses on rhythm, stroke refinement, and steady breathing.
• The 20% portion pushes your heart rate up, building speed and power.
• Balancing intensity this way helps swimmers train consistently over months.

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

Remember: consistent low-intensity work builds the foundation; targeted intensity sharpens speed.

Swimming lessons in Leicester typically cost about £39/h per session.

This price can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability: complete beginner, returning swimmer, or stroke refinement
• The tutor's background, ASA certification level, and years of coaching
• Session duration and booking pattern: single lessons or term-time packages
• Where you swim: council pool, hotel pool, or specialist swim school

Block bookings can save money and help build momentum between sessions.

Plenty of coaches invite new swimmers to try one lesson free before signing up.

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

• These early classes are about splashing, floating, and building confidence.
• At this stage, children learn to kick, blow bubbles, and hold the pool edge.
• Formal lessons at this stage cover floating, treading water, and beginner strokes.

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.
