A 7-week course of children’s lessons costs £20.55 and a 7-week course of adult lessons cost £25.20. The lessons will be taught by ASA level 2 swimming teachers and lessons run between 4.00 pm and 6.00 pm will have exclusive use of the pool.

We will be introducing more lessons from September including; Adult and Child, Water Aerobics, mini-polo! and Rookie Lifesaving.

These are the stages for the new ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) and are not equivalent to the current levels. Please see attached summary of stages to best decide which level your child is at.

Please Note: Times and days may vary depending on demand.

Summary of stages
Stage 1 - Developing basic safety awareness, the ‘class’ scenario, basic movement skills and water confidence skills.

Stage 2 - Developing safe entries to the water, including jumping in, basic floating, travel and rotation unaided to regain upright position.

Stage 3 - Developing safe entries including submersion, travel up to 10 metres on the front and back, progress rotation skills and water safety knowledge.

Stage 4 - Developing the understanding of buoyancy through a range of skills, refining kicking technique for all strokes, and swimming 10 metres to a given standard as directed by the ASA.

Stage 5 - Developing ‘watermanship’ through sculling and treading water skills, and complete rotation, also performing all strokes to the given standard as directed by the ASA.

Stage 6 - Developing effective swimming skills included coordinated breathing; developing the water safety aspects and understanding of preparation for exercise.

Stage 7 - Developing quality stroke technique up to 100 metres, incorporating skills learnt and combining them to develop a linked routine and complete successfully an obstacle course that combines a variety of skills accomplished throughout stages 1-7.

Adult Beginners – These lessons are designed to build confidence and teach the fundamental skills which will allow you to go on to develop all four strokes. You will work at your own rate therefore whatever your previous experience we can adapt to you.

If you have any problems accurately assessing your child’s level there will be an assessment day on Wednesday 7th May between 5pm and 7pm, this will be free. Please feel free to bring your child along for an assessment, it will take approx 5 minutes, as there is no pre booking there may be a short wait.
