Welsh Speaking Swimming Lessons at Halo pools in Aberfan and Merthyr Tydfil

Our Learn to Swim Programme uses the fun and progressive Swim Wales badge scheme (Waves 1 to 8). It’s designed for all children aged 4 and up, whether they are just starting out or are ready to become better swimmers.1

Celebrating Every Splash of Progress

To complete each of the Waves (1 to 8), your child will master a specific set of skills and milestones. This structured approach means their swimming skills will grow steadily and noticeably. Best of all, every Wave is completed with a special certificate and badge—a fantastic way to celebrate their hard work and keep them excited about swimming!1

Which Wave Should I Book?

If your child is new to lessons, Wave 1 is the perfect place to start. If they have swum with Halo before, simply re-book the Wave level they last completed. Remember, our friendly swimming instructors constantly assess your child’s skills and technique every week. We’ll make sure they move up to the next stage as soon as they are confidently ready!
