All year around lessons at Abbot's Hill School
We would like to share some news with you about our swimming lessons at Abbot’s Hill School!
As part of our renewed agreement with the school, swimming lessons will transition from a term-time-only format to a year-round programme, with a two-week closure over the Christmas period and no lessons on bank holidays and Easter weekend.
This change will take effect from Monday 5th January 2026, with the first additional sessions running over February half term.
There will be no changes to how payments work – monthly payments will continue as usual, with lessons billed at the start of each month for the sessions taking place in that month.
As part of this new agreement, you may have noticed the new lobby area and refurbished changing rooms, which we’re proud to have built and funded. These will soon be followed by further maintenance and improvement works around the pool and its surroundings – all part of our ongoing investment in Abbot’s Hill.
We’re really proud of how the swim school continues to grow and improve, and this move to year-round lessons will help us offer an even better experience for all our swimmers.
We’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions page (which will be updated regularly) to provide more detail and answer any queries you may have:

Thank you, as always, for your continued support – we can’t wait to see all year round from next year!
Warm regards,
Watford Swim School
