Making a Splash This Summer – July at Harrogate School of Swimming
As we enter July and approach the final month of our swimming season, it’s a wonderful time to take stock of how far we’ve come this year—and look ahead to the exciting weeks that lie before us. Summer brings with it a special kind of energy, and around the pool, that energy is unmistakable.
Every lesson, every lane, and every laugh from our swimmers tells a story of progress and pride. July feels like a moment to pause in the sunshine and appreciate the ripple effect of all we’ve built together in 2025 so far.
From our youngest swimmers taking their first confident glides to our Performance Squad pushing their personal bests, the momentum is strong—and it's all thanks to the dedication of our team, the enthusiasm of our families, and the spirit of our swimmers.
We’re excited to share that our new Baby Swim program will be launching this September, designed to nurture water confidence and early development from the very start. Whether you’ve been with us since the start of the academic year or joined more recently, it’s wonderful to see our community growing and evolving.

Badges & Smiles
There’s something so satisfying about watching a swimmer beam with pride as they’re awarded a new badge. It’s not just a marker of skill—it’s a symbol of persistence and growth. This month, we’ll be celebrating those achievements in and out of the water.
A Touch of Play
We’re keeping the joy alive by introducing playful elements in the last few lessons of the term. These sessions help reinforce a love of water, boost confidence, and ensure we end the season on a high note.
Planning Ahead
Behind the scenes, we’re already looking forward to what’s next. Our autumn term plans are taking shape, with improvements and surprises in store to keep our swimmers progressing and inspired.
July is more than just a finish line—it’s a celebration of everything we’ve worked toward so far. Thank you for being part of our vibrant community. Let’s make this final month of the season as memorable as the milestones we’ve already reached.
Here’s to strong strokes, big smiles, and a brilliant summer ahead.
