Our Focus
- Well maintained, clean pool and facilities:
Pool water will be clear and well sanitized; we test our water quality at regular basis.
- Comfortable water and air temperature:
Young children and beginners need warm water and air in winter. We have appropriate heating arrangements to make the learners comfortable and relaxed.
- Short lessons for learners:
Young children and beginners may become tired if lessons are longer than 30 minutes; we have designed our lessons accordingly. Advanced swimmers will benefit from longer sessions to build fitness and endurance.
Our classes are based on sound progression of swimming and water safety skills. We provide parents with written information explaining the club’s philosophy, levels and skill progression.
- A comprehensive and professional program:
On going, providing a range of programmes from beginners through to advanced swimmers. Higher level of coaching is given to encourage swimmers to pursue swimming competitions.
- A motivating system of rewards:
We have a system in place marking progress between levels e.g. certificates and badges. Smile and laughter will be the norm and praise will be given in larger doses to make the young learners happy and confident.
We use safety equipment wisely and ensure children are vigilantly supervised when under our care.
Our teachers have a nationally recognized swimming coaching qualification, appropriate to the level being taught.
