We pride ourselves in the structure and delivery of our lessons. Our aim is to promote a high standard of swimming from play and confidence building, to swimming techniques, enjoyment and achievement to the highest level in the sport. All our instructors are fully qualified, experienced and hold the relevant Swim England qualifications. Tuition is always hands on as instructors are in the water, therefore ensuring the students will receive above average attention, teaching in a friendly and encouraging environment.
We do private lessons to suit those who require additional support and adult swimming lessons. We offer individually graded classes with teachers in the water. All pupils can participate in the Swim England ‘Learn to Swim Programme’. Each child’s needs are individually assessed and constantly updated each month.
The National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) is an ‘all-inclusive programme’ which takes the non-swimmer from his or her first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water.
The national governing body for swimming, Swim England, have produced a national syllabus for Aquatics, in order to equip learn to swim providers with the training and tools to deliver a multi aquatic, multi skill programme.
A child develops their basic movement range during the ages of 5 years to 8 years for females, and 6 years to 9 years for males. During this stage of ‘growing up’, children should be taking part in activity that builds their Fundamental movement skills, with the emphasis being learning through fun.
The swimmer’s ‘journey through aquatics’ is a programme for developing early years water confidence, which is encouraged through sessions such as ‘Parent and baby’ sessions. The emphasis is upon development of very basic motor skills and introduction to water and the swimming environment through fun and games. The ‘Swim England Duckling / Duckling Discovery’ Awards provide rewards appropriate for this section.
