With the A.S.A. National Plan for Teaching Swimming as a framework, we offer preparation for life, from the early days of building confidence, through gaining body awareness, core strength and endurance of the Long Term Athlete Programme, regardless of sport. water or land based.
Opportunities begin from birth with our parent and toddler sessions and progress on towards independent learning and courses for all ages and abilities, with or without buoyancy aids. Courses run all year round and are following a continual assessment programme. When a child has achieved all the criterea for the level they are given the opportunity to change levels. Each child moves when they are ready. No longer do the lessons operate on terms of 12/13 weeks.
