Swimmers can join our Learn to Swim programme from 3 years old. Our youngest swimmers start in the baby pool where the main focus is on the development of water confidence and basic water movement skills through both work and play. Initially these swimmers will be awarded Duckling badges. The main scheme the club follows is the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Plan for Teaching Swimming which encompasses 10 stages of development. The emphasis is to continue to build water confidence, develop swimming skills and teach correct swimming technique over short distances. Once the swimmer has completed Stage 6 they will be given the option to join the club’s Development Squad. Class size varies from 6 to 10 dependent on the ability of the class being taught. Our teachers are all ASA qualified and attend training courses as part of their continuous professional development. Most of the teachers have an assistant who is an ASA qualified Helper.
