Pool Information:

We use two pools our learners pool and the main pool.

Learner pool - we offer lessons for children from 5 years old. Our aim is to build the child's water confidence.

We focus on floating, submersion, kicking,  freestyle, roll to breath technique, and backstroke. 

The sessions are divided into 2  x 25 minute time slots, based on the abilities of the swimmers.

Main pool -  we offer lessons for children who can already roll to breath and have a basic understanding of the swimming strokes, through to more experinced swimmers. We run both our Intermediate (25 minutes) and Advanced (55 minutes) out of this pool. 

The sessions are divided into two 25 minute sessions or one 55 minute session (depending on level) please see below for level descriptions.

Levels -  

Beginner one - floating front and back, kicking front and back, arm circles front and back (25 mins).

Beginner two - introduction to freestyle breathing, and backstroke (25 mins).
