PRE-SCHOOL LESSONS

Teaching our youngest pupils to have fun in the water. It is also a steep learning curve for Mums & Dads as well!

Our lessons are all based on fun, familiar and not so familiar nursery rhymes, games and play. We also help parents gain confidence when handling small children in the water and knowing how to move onto the next stage.

Our toddlers are then ready to take the next step which is the Amateur Swimming Association's (ASA) Water Activity Foundation stage. The Duckling Awards 1 -5 take your child from confidence to swimming 5m

CHILDREN'S LESSONS

Lessons take place in small groups with at least two fully qualified staff which enables each child to get the attention they need. We work to the ASA's National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS). There are 7 stages, although we concentrate on the first 5 stages only. Our lessons are divided up according to ability and age. We always aim to find the most suitable group for the child. Progress in our classes is rapid, so we never delay moving a child up to the next group if needs be.

ADULT LESSONS

We specialise in the absolutely terrified. Lessons are in very small groups with no spectators and very warm water. We understand the terror some people feel and will take you through that fear on to learning to swim.

AQUABUMP

Mums-to-be can exercise in warm water in comfortable surroundings taking the weight off their bodies. With no spectators and comfortable surroundings mums can relax and take time out.
