Children’s Swimming Classes
Swimming Lessons for Children
Children can swim independently with the instructors around their fourth birthday, however we realise that each child will have different needs so this is not a step to be hurried.
The critieria for swimming without a parent is that your child is happy and content in the water without you and can swim on a woggle/noodle without being held for support on both their front and back.
Swimming Programmes
Working toward the national and international plan for teaching swimming our structured programme further consolidates skills that were taught earlier. The aim is to increase swimming distances but with a clear emphasis on technique. The four main strokes are taught, front & back crawl, breast stroke and butterfly although with the latter this is generally introduced in its entirety at the age of 7 or when the child is physically strong enough. Dolphin kick is taught during the initial stages as a constrasting activity.
Swimming Programmes
Earlier life saving techniques are now progressed to the next level but introduced in a fun filled way. Children get to swim in their PJs and taught to remove them whilst treading water which is truly amazing to see!
Our programme seems endless as new skills are taught preparing children to become truly remarkable swimmers in every aspect whilst keeping a fun element to their lessons.
We are confident we will see some of our little wonders make the olympics one day!
