What's On for Kids in Arlesey This Summer
If you're a parent in Arlesey, Stotfold, Shefford, or the surrounding villages, finding quality activities for your kids can be a challenge. Options locally are limited, especially when it comes to structured sport and fitness programmes that actually keep children engaged week after week.
Swan Academy in Stevenage is just a 10-minute drive from Arlesey and offers some of the best gymnastics, dance, ninja, and parkour classes in the region. Plus, with 50% off summer camps running throughout August, there's never been a better time to get your child involved.
Gymnastics Classes All Year Round
Swan Academy runs classes on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings for children aged 2 to 18. From Mini Tots sessions for toddlers to competitive squad training for older gymnasts, there's a programme for every age and ability.
The club is led by Svetlana Lebedinskaya, a former USSR gymnast ranked in the world's top three. All coaches hold minimum Level 2 qualifications, DBS checks, and safeguarding certificates.
Classes for Every Age and Level:
Whether your child is 2 or 18, Swan Academy has a programme for them.
Mini Tots for ages 2 to 4. An introduction to movement, coordination, and basic gymnastics shapes in a fun, playful setting.
Gymnastics 4 All for ages 4 and above. Covering fundamental gymnastics skills across floor, beam, bars, and vault.
Advance 4 All for gymnasts ready to progress beyond the basics and start developing more technical skills.
Development Group and Junior Squad for committed gymnasts training towards competitions and events.
Classes run on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, making it easy to fit around school and family life.
Events and Competitions
Swan Academy runs regular in-house competitions throughout the year, giving every gymnast a chance to perform and gain experience in a supportive environment. The club also enters gymnasts into regional competitions as they progress. It's not just about training. It's about giving your child memories and experiences they'll carry with them.
This summer the club is hosting Visual Treasure 2026, a pirate-themed in-house competition on Sunday 28th June. Every competing gymnast receives a t-shirt, medal, certificate, and goodie bag. It's the kind of event that gets children buzzing for weeks.
