Our Classes
Let’s get Swimming!
Our range of classes are designed to ensure your child is progressing properly throughout their Learn-to-Swim journey.
Pearls & Parents (Starfish)
For the newest members of the family! These sessions are for parents and babies aged 6 to 18 months. The focus is on fun sessions delivered through movement, action songs, games and submersion. For this age group we use the STA STARFISH programme which is a series of progressive awards designed to introduce babies and toddlers (with the accompanying adult) to their very first water adventure!
Pearls & Parents (Discovery Duckling)
These classes are for children aged from 18 months to Pre-School. This age group follow the Swim England Discovery Duckling Awards programme where the main aims are to build up your child’s water confidence and safety skills by showing parents how to support them on their way to swimming independently.
Pre-School Lessons (3-4 years)
For this age group we follow the Swim England DUCKLING Programme. This series of awards consists of progressive stages specifically designed to further develop you child’s water confidence without the support of mum &/or dad. It teaches children water safety skills and introduces them to the basic stroke techniques.
Junior Swimmers (School-aged Swimmers)
With small class sizes, dedicated group Lifeguards and a water-based teacher enable our school aged children to thrive. These groups initially follow the Learn-to-Swim programme (stages 1-7) and then for our more able swimmers, the challenge of the STA Advanced Bronze, Silver & Gold Awards awaits! We also use the Rainbow Distance Awards as part of our assessment.
Advanced Swimmers
For our more advanced swimmers we offer fun and friendly training sessions to work on stamina, technique, skills, speed and introduce the basics of water polo or synchronised swimming. The children continue to work on their STA Badges; the Advanced Swimmer Series consists of three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of individual swimmers according to their levels of ambition and ability. Contact us to find out more.
