Swim School

Our Swim School incorporates the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming. The ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming offers clearly defined progression levels that are easily understood. With 7 different levels we can accommodate many different abilities. The emphasis is on teaching correct technique over short distances providing the foundations for sound swimming and pupil progress. It is also our policy to ensure lessons are enjoyable, interesting and above all offer the highest standards of water confidence, skills and technique.

Classes consist of blocks of 10 weekly sessions to form a 50 week swim school.

Classes consist of weekly half hour sessions. This enables us to place more emphasis on continual assessment. Swimmers will be placed in named groups ranging from Stage 1 to Stage 7. Each child will have the opportunity to achieve awards as they progress through the Swim School.

Lessons continue during school holidays, but we break for two weeks at Christmas. Our lessons run on Bank Holidays.

All of our instructors are qualified by the Swimming Teachers Association and attend regular CPD training in order to maintain quality teaching and ongoing development. All Teachers are also CRB checked prior to employment.
