What we teach
The focus of children’s swimming lessons is to strengthen the basics of your child’s swimming ability, progressing them at their own pace. We work on developing their confidence in the water, as well as core muscles, before moving on to more advanced stroke techniques. We have added to the Swim England “stages” and our teachers follow structured lesson plans. As a reward for their hard work, students receive certificates and badges for moving onto the next stage and when they can swim certain distances. Once their technique is up to standard, they can move onto our Children’s Squad lessons.
