During the swim course, old skills will be perfected and new skills learned. Following these weekly sessions, your child will show major progress in the water. Swimming is also an excellent form of exercise for your child and something you can do together for fun as a family.

 

When children have achieved all the elements within their stage of the swimming plan, they can move onto the next one. Our expert coaches conduct individual end-of-term assessments and advise the best way forward for your child.

Please note: Our pool environment is constantly manned by one of our trained lifeguards to ensure a fully safe pool environment for all members and guest.
