About the club

Ahoy Swimming Club

A lot of adults never learned to swim, or learned once and lost their confidence. Ahoy exists for exactly those people. Sessions are deliberately informal and men-only, in small groups, so nobody feels watched while they work on the basics.

Informal, pressure-free swim lessons for men aged 18 and over, whether you are starting from zero or rebuilding confidence.

Common questions

Before your first session

I genuinely cannot swim at all. Is this for me?

Yes. That is precisely who these sessions are designed for. You will start in shallow water at your own pace.

Why is it men-only?

It is a targeted session designed to lower the barrier for a group that is under-represented in adult swimming lessons. Velocity runs scoped sessions where they genuinely help people take a first step.

What do I need to bring?

Swimwear, a towel and goggles if you have them. Nothing else.
