Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to enquire about the swimming lessons that were recently advertised in the local newspaper at your community sports centre. I am interested in joining the course and would like some further information.

At present, I have a basic level of swimming ability. I am able to swim short distances using simple strokes; however, I lack proper technique and confidence, particularly in deeper water. As I have never received formal training, I feel that professional instruction would help me improve significantly.

The main reason I would like to enhance my swimming skills is to improve my overall fitness and personal safety. Swimming is an excellent full-body exercise, and I also wish to feel more confident when visiting swimming pools or beaches with my family. Furthermore, strong swimming skills are an important life-saving ability.

I would appreciate it if you could provide details regarding the lesson schedule, including class timings and duration. I would also like to know the cost of the course and whether there are any beginner-level classes available on weekends.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,
Yadwinder Singh
