Taster Session
Do you want to get a flavour of the Sports Nut swimming lesson experience?!
A taster session will give your super swimmer a chance to experience how our lessons work. It’s a great introduction to the pool, an opportunity to meet our amazing team, and a perfect way to ease any pre-lesson nerves! The taster session also enables one of our skilled swimming teachers to allocate a suitable level within the Sports Nut Award Scheme for your super swimmer to start at. Please be aware that our lessons are extremely popular, and we have waiting lists for Taster Sessions at both our Davenies and Godstowe sites.
What is a Taster Session?
A taster session is a crucial and necessary part of the Sports Nut swimming experience and journey. It offers your child a fun introduction to our lessons at Sports Nut and helps us assign your swimmer to the appropriate level (you can learn all about our levels here).
Your super swimmer will be able to experience the venue and pool you would like to have lessons in, and meet some of our staff too… maybe even their future teacher! Starting swimming lessons in a new place can be daunting, so the Taster Session is a great place to get rid of any pre-lesson nerves.
What type of Taster Sessions are there?
Our taster sessions come in multiple formats:
Non-Swimmer / Beginner – This session is ideal for those with little or no swimming experience. It’s also perfect for swimmers who cannot swim unaided and are uncomfortable in the deep end.
Confident Shallow End – These sessions are designed for swimmers who have some experience with swimming lessons, have been introduced to some strokes, and can jump in out of their depth but are not yet ready for a full lesson in the deep end without a teacher in the pool.
Out of Depth / Lengths – These sessions are for swimmers who have lesson experience and are comfortable swimming out of their depth, allowing them to participate in a full lesson in the deep end without a teacher in the pool.
What happens after a Taster Session?
At the end of the taster session, our coach will assign your child an appropriate Sports Nut class level based on their ability, as well as handing you an assessment card detailing the next steps. It’s likely we will already have conversed with you regarding your availability for weekly lessons or our crash courses, but please do email us on info@sports-nut.co.uk after your taster to confirm your assigned level and availability, so we can begin working on finding an appropriate space for your super swimmer as soon as we can!

What a lovely way to be introduced to the wonderful world of Sports Nut. I’m not sure who was more nervous, me or my daughter, but Korrie put both our minds at ease and my daughter came out of the pool buzzing. Many thanks for a wonderful start.

I was so impressed with our taster session today. The teacher was kind and knowledgeable and my daughter really enjoyed the calm atmosphere at the pool.

THANK YOU all so much for the amazing support you’ve given our son! When I think about how far he’s come from when we started, it’s truly amazing! There were times that I honestly thought he’d never crack it, but with all your support and belief he finally nailed it and I couldn’t be more proud!! So thank you!! And I know it’s a strange time, but please keep doing what you’re doing because you really are making a difference!
