Learning to swim at MOE (Evans) / CCAB Swimming Complex
A beginner using MOE (Evans) / CCAB Swimming Complex should start with comfort and control rather than rushing into a full stroke. Lessons, when available, should be matched to the learner’s confidence, mobility and current ability.
Start with the water-confidence guide or read what beginner swimming lessons should include.
A practical beginner progression
- Enter and recover safely: know how to stand up and return to the side.
- Breathe comfortably: place the face in and exhale underwater without rushing.
- Balance and float: learn front and back body positions with supervision.
- Glide and kick: develop controlled movement before adding complex arm actions.
- Connect the first stroke: combine breathing, position and propulsion gradually.
Progress is individual. Do not practise alone, and stay within an area appropriate for your ability.

- Arrive early enough to enter the facility and find the agreed meeting point.
