Our Swim School follows Swim England’s learn to swim programme so that all of our swimmers are able to access the different pathways within the aquatic world. The programme is underpinned by the principles of Swim England’s Athlete Development Support Pathway. This supports the development of our national athletes.
Our inclusive programme is delivered by professional swimming teachers and coaches and offers awards throughout the different stages of your child’s aquatic journey. Whether that is through our competitive route or another, your child will be able to achieve the best of their abilities and have the skills to follow a pathway which they enjoy and can aspire to.
Our lessons aim to engage and motivate learners of every age and ability – fun lesson content and clear, structured stages mean learners and teachers can easily see and monitor progress. This helps to build learner confidence and competence in the water.
We aim to give every swimmer the opportunity to explore and experience the different opportunities which are open to them.
