\u201cMy son has just done a weeks crash course with cindy\u2019s swim school and he\u2019s absolutely loved it, (he\u2019s refused to do lessons for ages after not enjoying lessons with a previous teacher and also gets nervous in new environments and new people) so much do he asked if he could do the second week!
His teacher Georgie has really given him a boost in confidence and already he\u2019s improving techniques as well as learnt a new one all while having fun.
He\u2019s also looking forward to starting some regular weekly lessons come September. Thank you\u201d – LS<\/p>\n

\u201cI joined the termly classes in the summer term with Chi Chi which I thoroughly enjoyed. I then returned during the summer holidays for a crash course with Lu Lu who was amazing. My nephew also did a crash course with Lu Lu which he really enjoyed. Both instructors were very patient and enthusiastic.
Thanks to Cheryl for her advice abd taking the time to explain my swimming options. Thanks also to Tamlyn and Claudine who were very efficient responding to emails. Thanks again to all the Cindy Swim team!\u201d – Charlene Bonsu<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you very much for a great crash course. Lulu has been friendly and amazing at teaching my 6 year old how to swim. My daughter felt confident and very much in rhythm with the water. My daughter doesn’t like water on her face and her collecting diving sticks from the bottom of the pool was such a massive challenge\/improvement \ud83e\udd17.

Why a school holiday swimming crash course?<\/h2>\n

Our swimming crash courses are both fun and effective!<\/h4>\n

Swimming daily boosts children\u2019s confidence in the water and we often see them progress their swimming skills leaps and bounds over a short time.<\/p>\n

For non-swimmers, intensive swimming lessons are an ideal way to introduce and embed the swimming basics and vital safety skills.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not forget, school holiday swimming programs definitely help children release their energy and stay active each day, which is a win for parents and carers! It’s a wonderful way to fill holiday time whilst learning something new.<\/p>\n

Actually there’s no age limit! We run swimming crash courses for all ages, from babies to adult beginners. Our crash courses include parent and baby, toddler, preschool, school aged children and adult beginners. We also offer private 2:1 and 1:1 intensive swimming courses. Please get in touch<\/a> if you need advice on the best class for your child’s age and stage.<\/p>\n

Crash courses are typically run over 4 or 5 consecutive days. The daily lessons build on each other for faster progress. They\u2019re a great option for boosting confidence, instilling water safety and improving skills, especially for kids during school holidays. Read our article, “5 surprising benefits of holiday swimming crash courses for kids \ud83d\ude00<\/a>” for more ways intensive swimming can help you or your child.\u00a0 Weekly lessons are more spaced out and ideal for learning and maintaining steady progress during term time, and for consistent application and improvement.<\/p>\n

Absolutely. You can contact our office if you need advice on the best class and stage for your child.<\/p>\n

On day one, our experienced swim teachers assess each swimmer to ensure they\u2019re placed in the right level. Throughout the week, the group is supported with personalised guidance to help every child progress at their own pace.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are swimming crash courses suitable for nervous beginners?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#2ea3f2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Yes! In fact, they\u2019re ideal for nervous swimmers. Our teachers are well-trained to support nervous swimmers and the consistency of daily lessons helps grow trust and confidence more quickly, reducing fear and building familiarity with the water.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What should we bring to the swimming crash course?” open_toggle_text_color=”#2ea3f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#2ea3f2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Please bring swimwear, towel, goggles and a swimming cap. If your child is younger and not fully toilet-trained, a neoprene swim nappy and a reusable swim nappy are required for each lesson. Wear the neoprene swim nappy over the top of a swim nappy to prevent any leaks in the pool.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can my child continue lessons after the crash course?” open_toggle_text_color=”#2ea3f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#2ea3f2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Definitely. Many children continue with weekly lessons to build on their progress, and we\u2019ll be happy to advise you on the best class for their next step.<\/p>\n

Yes, we run intensive swimming lessons during most school holidays, including half term and Easter breaks. Availability can vary, so we recommend booking early! We always offer discounts for early bookers, so follow us on social media or join our mailing list and be the first to get the latest offers.<\/p>\n

Yes, parents stay on-site during crash course lessons. If a child needs to go to the loo, then we need parents to take them, as the teacher cannot leave the pool. There will be seating for parents too.<\/p>\n
