Helping junior swimmers take on new challenges!

Fun, supportive swimming lessons for children aged 8–12 in Torrington, North Devon. We help junior swimmers build confidence, refine their technique and develop the skills needed to become stronger, safer and more independent in the water.

Making every swimming challenge fun, positive and rewarding

As children get older, their swimming journey becomes about more than confidence in the water. Our Junior Swimmers lessons are designed for children aged 8–12 who are ready to refine their technique, develop greater independence and take on new challenges as swimmers.

Every lesson follows the STA International Learn to Swim Programme, helping children continue progressing through structured skill development while keeping lessons fun, engaging and rewarding. With experienced teachers, small class sizes and personalised support, every swimmer is encouraged to achieve their next milestone and grow in confidence.

Created with children at the heart of every lesson.

Goggles & Giggles was created from a simple belief: swimming lessons should be personal, supportive and accessible for every child.

Before creating Goggles & Giggles, Tracy Hewitt spent years teaching children in leisure centres, often working with groups of 6–8 swimmers. Seeing the difference that individual attention could make, Tracy left to create Goggles & Giggles built around smaller groups, personal support and helping every child thrive.

Swimming is not a luxury - it’s an essential life skill. Since 2013, Goggles & Giggles has provided affordable, high-quality swimming lessons from just £10.50 per session, with a maximum of four in a group to ensure every child receives the support and attention they deserve.

Internationally recognised programme that recognises and rewards success.

We proudly follow the STA International Learn to Swim Programme, focusing on water safety, skill development, and a love for swimming. Our experienced teachers ensure each swimmer progresses at their own pace, with achievements recognized and rewarded along the way.

Every swimmer deserves the support to achieve more.

Every child develops at their own pace, which is why we keep our lessons to a maximum of four swimmers per class. Smaller groups allow our teachers to provide personalised coaching, valuable feedback and encouragement, helping each swimmer refine their technique, build confidence and take on new challenges.

As swimmers continue developing their skills, we celebrate every achievement along the way. At the end of each term, children are assessed through the STA International Learn to Swim Programme, earning certificates and badges that recognise their progress and celebrate the milestones they have achieved.

A lifetime of swimming confidence starts here.

At Goggles & Giggles, we create a positive environment where children can grow in confidence, learn essential skills and enjoy swimming for life.
