Report
AJ learnt to swim at Shirley Swimming Pool from a young age and went on to become a competitive swimmer for Southampton Dolphins, soon reaching the national level. Shortly after leaving Southampton Dolphins AJ realised how much she missed the pool and Dave offered to train her up as an assistant swimming teacher at the age of 14, giving her shifts on Saturday mornings.

Toddlers
Report
Behind reception at the Pool is a height chart that shows the current water depth of the Small Teaching Pool. Once a child can stand safely in the pool, they can join the Toddlers class that we call "Under 5's". This is normally between two years nine months and three years. The pool is warm, enclosed and private but parents can easily deliver and collect from the pool edge.
Adult Lessons
Report
Even the most nervous adult beginners have overcome their fear of water at Shirley Pool. The private shallow areas and sympathetic teachers help ease the dread that many adults feel near water. Stroke technique and deep water confidence classes are held early evenings and day times. Private, one on one lessons are available by arrangement.
