A good place to start
Ask a club about the swimming ability needed for its beginner programme.
What to compare
- Swimming prerequisites
- Coaching and team sessions
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
