Swimming
Group Lessons
Our Swimming Lessons are taught by fully qualified and experienced teachers who will ensure suitable, individual progression. Our main aim is to improve the swimming ability, water confidence and watermanship skills of each attending child. In addition, children will work to the ASA Awards Scheme, which provides a record of their individual achievements as they progress through various skills. Classes offered for different abilities are as follows:
Beginner - This class caters for individuals who are not water-confident and cannot swim unaided (i.e. require armbands or floats). This class will develop water-confidence and body awareness in the water, with an aim to swimming unaided for one breadth of the pool.
Intermediate - This class caters for individuals who are confident in swimming one breadth of the pool unaided, and who are ready to develop different strokes.
Advanced - This class caters for individuals who need to focus on specific swimming skills and improve their swim fitness.
