Huge improvements to his swimming

“Our son has been going for over 2 years now and is very happy and has made huge improvements to his swimming. Harriet is our current teacher and she’s great with children and always smiling.” – Richard Lim

Our boy made great progress

“Our boy made great progress with Harriet and is always looking forward to coming to his class. He gets close attention and consistent feedback, and a lot of patience (he does need a lot of reminding). As a result he went from hating to go to classes (at another provider) and is now happy to dive under the water.” – Mathieu Veillette

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.

What to expect

Z

Kids learn in small groups

Children go into the water by themselves (i.e. without parents from approximately 2 years old). They of course will be under the watchful eye of our experienced teachers.

Z

Safe and firm teaching

Whilst our classes are enjoyable, we find children benefit from a firm no-nonsense approach to uphold safety in the pool and the focus is on learning.

Z

Kids learn by doing

To be effective at teaching, we demonstrate movement physically and help our pupils perfect those movements in the pool. This may involve the teacher supporting your child in a hands-on way.

Z

child protection

All of our staff are DBS checked for child protection purposes.
