Looking for swimming lessons in Preston or the surrounding villages? Splash, the pool at The Hub in Buckshaw Village, teaches swimmers from just 3 months and above in a warm, purpose built heated pool. Our lessons follow the recognised STA Starfish, Ducklings and ASA Learn to Swim schemes, so every child builds water confidence and skill step by step. We are only a short drive from Preston, Chorley, Leyland, Euxton and Whittle-le-Woods, just off the M6 with free parking on site.

Why choose Splash?

Splash is a friendly, welcoming pool where children and adults can learn to swim at their own pace. We keep our class sizes small so everyone gets plenty of attention, and our purpose built heated pool is comfortable for the very youngest swimmers. There are proper changing facilities on site, and an on-site cafe means the whole family can make a morning of it while you are here.

The benefits of swimming

Swimming is one of the best ways for children to stay active and healthy. As well as being a vital life skill, learning to swim builds strength, coordination and confidence in the water. Lessons are also a lovely way for little ones to make friends, follow instructions and enjoy a sense of achievement as they progress through each stage.

Safety first

Your child's safety is our priority. Every instructor at Splash is ASA Level 2 qualified and first aid trained, so children are in safe, experienced hands. We keep class sizes small, and depending on the lesson parents either join their child in the water or relax in the viewing area to watch them learn.

Learn to Swim schemes for every stage

We follow three trusted Learn to Swim schemes so children can progress naturally as they grow:

  • STA Starfish (from 3 months): a gentle introduction focused on water safety and building early confidence.
  • Ducklings (ages 3 to 4): children learn to enter and exit the pool safely, float and blow bubbles.
  • ASA Swim Stages (age 4 and up): more advanced skills, including swimming 5 metres in a range of different styles.

Baby swimming lessons

Our baby and parent classes are a wonderful way to introduce your little one to the water. Each session lasts 30 minutes, with you in the pool alongside your baby throughout. Following the STA Starfish scheme, these lessons help build early water confidence in a warm, safe environment.

One-to-one swimming lessons

If your child would benefit from focused attention, we offer private one-to-one lessons during the school holidays. These are ideal for swimmers who want to build confidence quickly or work on a particular skill. For a quote and availability, call the Splash team on 01772 453253.

Family Swims

Our Family Swim slots give you exclusive access to the pool, so you can splash about together without the crowds. It is a relaxed, fun way to enjoy the water as a family and to help children feel even more at home in the pool.
