This principle says most swim time should feel comfortable, with short bursts of speed work.

• 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.

Coaches apply this ratio across a training week or month, not every single session.

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

In Nottingham, expect to pay roughly £35/h for private swim tuition.

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
• Location of lessons: public facility, private hire, or outdoor setting

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.

Between ages 3 and 5, kids gain the motor skills needed to follow instructions and learn strokes.

• 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.

Signs of readiness include comfort in water, willingness to follow directions, and physical coordination.

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