We have small classes of 5 or 6 pupils with 1 instructor in the water with them, a maximum of 2 classes run side by side so we never have more than 12 pupils in the water at any one time.

Parents are not permitted on poolside but can watch their children on a large TV’s in Reception area where refreshments are on sale and with ample seating you can watch your child’s progress in comfort.

We run our lessons in blocks of 4 weeks, these are paid in advance and subject to our terms and conditions on your registration form when you sign up.  The idea is to try and make it a more affordable activity that fits in with your usual monthly outgoings rather than termly payments or blocks of 10 weeks.

Since April 2016 our swimming lessons have successfully followed a programme of 8 awards developed by the STA to meet the standards of the national curriculum  in addition to this programme we run  :

Transition Classes for Parent and Toddler to prepare for Independent Lessons (All with Parents in the water)

Awards 1 & 2 – from 4 yrs upwards this class concentrates on building water confidence and floating skills that will underpin future swim teaching.  They also introduce independent swimming of front and back paddle over a short distance.

Awards 3 – 8 then take the learner through the 4 strokes whilst at the same time teaching a variety of additional water safety and life saving skills which is so important when staying safe in and around water.

The final progression is  where children will be able to work towards a series of distance awards and their interest maintained by being taught additional skills such as CPR , Snorkelling and basic water rescue techniques.

In order to ensure your child gets the most from a lesson it is important we assess their current level of ability before we can allocate a class. We have a mixed set of lessons each day so it is fairly easy for parents to find a suitable day and time for their child to learn to swim with us.  So to book lessons for your child please arrange to visit us for an assessment the cost is £5 and Non Refundable, you can arrange an assessment by calling:

 01422 247500 7 days a week for any further information, opening times below

Charges:

Lessons last for 30 mins at a cost of £9.50 per lesson, the lessons are sold in blocks of 4 weeks and are paid for in advance (£38.00 per child).  Upon starting we ask that all new starters pay for an extra block up front which we call a block in hand and this is then used at the end of your swim time with us as your notice period as all customers are required to give us 4 weeks notice of when they wish to leave.  This then allows us time to offer your place to a new customer.

Adult Lessons.

Lessons are available for adult swimmers either on a 1-2-1 basis or in small classes.  We have a couple of dedicated slots during the evening for these – Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm (although we do have awaiting list for these times) and we have various times available during the day so if you want to learn to swim in a non threatening environment then contacts us today
