The teaching pool is a separate 16m x 12.5m tank just 1.25m deep, so nervous beginners are never out of their depth. Saturday-morning slots run for every age band, not just babies, which helps if weekday evenings are already spoken for.
The municipal pool in Horta runs term-time swim courses for every age, from 6-month-old babies up to 17-year-olds. Five age bands share the shallow teaching pool, with sessions Monday to Saturday and a maximum of 10-12 swimmers per group. Members and non-members can both enroll, and places renew automatically each trimester unless you cancel.
