Swimming Lessons for Children

We understand children progress faster in smaller groups, therefore we keep class numbers to a maximum of five for beginners with our fully qualified teachers working in the water with the children.

We use Springfield School swimming pool which is 18 metres long and 5 metres wide, providing scope for all levels.

The pool also has a balcony and we encourage friends and family to watch the lessons.

The improver and advanced sessions work in groups of eight, often with two teachers working with them.

We continue to work with children right up to the pre competition stage, when they learn extra skills such as 'racing starts' and 'tumble turns'.

Swimmers are advanced in our classes continuously on ability, we do not wait for the end of a term to move children up to the next group, so we continually to challenge the children to improve.

We operate alongside the STA award scheme. Children are awarded certificates and badges as they improve technique and stamina in the four swimming strokes combined with learning water safety and basic lifesaving.

Activity Sessions

Starting in January 2011 we are starting an exciting new 30 minute activity session at Springfield School on a Wednesday starting at 6.45pm and 7.15pm.

The sessions are aimed at the more advanced children (length swimmers only) that are looking for something fun to further their swimming skills. This will be a brilliant way for children to have fun, keep fit and improve water skills as well as an interesting change from usual swimming lessons.

The course can run alongside or instead of their current swimming lessons and as well as continuing the stroke technique work that we usually teach during our lessons the course will improve water skills and fitness through fun activities such as:

• Water polo
• Diving
• Syncronised swimming
• Lifesaving
• Snorkelling

If you would like more information or would like to book a place for your child on to the course please let us know asap as there are limited places available.

One-To-One or One-To-Two Lessons

We also offer 1-2-1 and 1-2-2 lessons so children can get intensive 30 minute lessons where one specialist teacher works with your children. Please ask at the desk for details or contact us.
