Families in Blackpool, Lancashire, can now sign up for children’s swimming lessons through a new online portal launched by Active Blackpool as of 26 February 2026. The digital system allows parents and carers to book places directly, removing the need to phone a leisure centre or wait for a call back to secure a spot.
The new online enrolment portal provides live availability for the Learn-to-Swim programme. Lessons are available at local facilities including Palatine Leisure Centre and Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre.
The cost for the children’s swim lesson membership is set at £25.60 per month. This move to an online system is intended to make it easier for families to start lessons and help reduce waiting lists at popular local pools.
The system uses a platform that includes a dedicated Parents Home Portal. This tool allows families to track their child’s progress as they move through the different levels of the swimming scheme.
Blackpool Council and Councillor Jo Farrell, the cabinet member for communities and wellbeing, oversee these leisure services. This update is part of a wider effort to improve local health facilities and encourage more children to learn how to swim.
