We believe in building relationships with children and adults and creating a swimming journey together. As your child progresses we aim to keep them with the same teacher for as long as possible as we know that continuity is the key to improvement.
There will always be unavoidable changes of course but when that is necessary we will try and make that transition as gentle as possible for your child to ensure it doesn’t disrupt their confidence.
Swimming is an important life skill as we all know so we are passionate about helping children be safe around water as early as possible.
BABIES AND TODDLERS (with parent)
(AGE UP TO 36MONTHS)
Whether its regular family playtime in a leisure pool or parent and toddler classes with us, it is so important to start this as early as possible. It will lay down the foundation for your child’s swimming journey and will create some beautiful bonding memories along the way. It may look like we are just having lots of songs and fun in the water but they all have a purpose with their next stage in mind.
Swim England badges and certificates available.
PRE-SCHOOL (first independent lesson)
(AGE APPROX 3-5YRS)
Learning independence in the water without parents can be a massive step but soon they become hugely proud of their achievements. Lots of praise from parents at poolside is essential! We either start or finish these classes with some fun elements often chosen by the children themselves – most popular requests have been seahorse races, sinkers or jumps.
Swim England badges and certificates available.
CHILDREN
(APPROX 5- 12 yrs)
Children learn at different rates as we all know and so these are the years where some children take off fast with their ability once they have really found their confidence in the water. If the gap with ability widens within the class we will of course monitor it and change the class around if required. The continuity of having the same teacher should make that a gentle transition.
TEENS AND ADULTS (beginners or improvers)
(13 YRS UPWARDS)
A third of adults in the UK have not learnt how to swim. If this is you, I can assure you it is never too late to discover a love of the water. However if you wish to perfect your technique, it is well worth it for health benefits as we grow older. Most importantly it will keep you safe around the water.
SCHOOL HOLIDAY BOOKINGS
Private one to one or two to one bookings take place during the school holidays. These sessions can be booked online, separately to the regular group/private sessions we have during the term time. This allows a booster lesson for some of our regular group swimmers when required or if term time is too hectic for parents then it’s perfect for those that prefer lessons during the holidays.
