If Swimming Matters… to you, or you want it to matter to you – you’re in the right place!

Welcome to Swimming Matters

Put simply, we’ve been helping adults in Manchester successfully achieve their swimming goals since 2009!

Over this time we’ve evolved and developed our how we do this. We offer a variety services to help you get the most from your swimming. These include pool sessions, open water sessions, 1-2-1s, group and Swim Smooth sessions.

We’ve helped hundreds of swimmers and from experience we know that everyone is different and the same is true with our swimming; we all have different reasons why ‘Swimming Matters’ to us, different starting points and different aims. Our company motto is think differently’ and this is reflected with our bespoke approach to your swimming.

To make it easier for you to find out more about what we can do for you, we’ve loosely grouped them into 5 main categories:

Perhaps you might recognise yourself? Perhaps you have a new Swimming Matter’ for us? Or it maybe you want to show a friend, family member or colleague how much ‘Swimming Matters’ and we have customisable gift vouchers available for you to do that.

Or if you know what you’re looking for, head over to our Services menu to see how we can support you with your ‘Swimming Matter’
