Swimming lessons for children in Marbella: which option is right for your child?

Finding swimming lessons in Marbella isn't only about choosing a pool or an available time.

A child who has never swum before, one who already feels comfortable in the water and a child who needs more personalised support may benefit from very different lesson formats.

At Casa Ángeles in Marbella, families can currently choose between small-group children's swimming lessons and one-to-one adaptive swimming lessons, with an initial assessment helping determine the appropriate option.

Small-group swimming lessons for kids

The regular programme is designed for children aged 4 to 12, including complete beginners.

Lessons have a maximum of five children per group, allowing swimmers to develop confidence, independence and swimming skills in a smaller learning environment.

Sessions last approximately 40 minutes once a week, with classes running on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 4 pm and 8 pm.

Groups are assigned according to the child's age, swimming ability, individual needs and availability.

The programme costs €55 per month and includes one weekly lesson, pool access and equipment used during the session. Children must be Friends of Casa Ángeles to participate

One-to-one adaptive swimming lessons in Marbella

Some children need a different learning environment.

The adaptive swimming programme at Casa Ángeles provides individual swimming lessons for children aged 4 to 14 who may benefit from more personalised support in the water.

Each child works one-to-one with the instructor for 30 minutes, allowing the session to progress according to their individual needs and abilities.

Lessons currently take place on Friday afternoons at 4 pm and 4:30 pm and initial availability is limited to two places, with potential expansion depending on demand and organisation.

The programme costs €55 per month for one weekly lesson.

Small-group or one-to-one swimming lessons?

There isn't one format that is automatically better for every child.

Small-group lessons can work well for children who are ready to learn alongside other swimmers while still benefiting from a group limited to five.

One-to-one adaptive lessons provide the instructor's attention throughout the entire session and can be considered when a child needs greater individualisation or support.

An initial assessment is therefore carried out before the final group or adaptive place is assigned.

Swimming lessons in English and Spanish

For international families living in Marbella, being able to understand the instructor can make the first experience in the pool easier.

Both Casa Ángeles programmes are available in English and Spanish, with communication and instructions adapted to the child's preferred language whenever possible.

This makes the programme particularly relevant for international and expat families living in Marbella and the surrounding area, as well as Spanish-speaking families.

Where are the swimming lessons held?

Lessons take place at the Casa Ángeles swimming pool in Marbella, in the Golden Mile area.

The regular children's programme runs as a seasonal activity, with the 2026/27 programme beginning in October and scheduled breaks around Christmas and Easter.

How to request a place

Children are assessed before their final group or individual place is assigned.

The assessment helps establish their current swimming ability, confidence and support needs rather than placing every child into the same programme automatically.

Families can check the two activities on TeVienes and request information or a place directly from the relevant activity page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Children's Swimming Lessons in Marbella.

If more individual support is needed, families can explore the one-to-one adaptive programme or ask about private swimming options through TeVienes.
