Children's Swimming Academy

(4-16 Years)

Learn To Swim

Our classes are a progressive swimming journey that follow the STA International Learn to Swim Programme and where applicable, the STA Rockhopper Series. We work to ensure each class has a great group dynamic, and has children all of a similar age and ability, so they are getting the best they can from each lesson. â€‹

We focus on each individual in a group with both feedback and encouragement, and do our best to ensure they are progressing and growing in confidence on their swimming journey. This includes being challenged as both an individual and as part of a team, whilst learning vital water safety and swimming skills, continuing to build and maintain their love of the water!

​

Academy Classes 

From the age of 8 years upwards, Academy Classes expand into both our Advanced Series and the RLSS Rookie Lifeguard Awards. Our Advanced Series runs a one hour session per week for those who wish to progress their swimming technique, diving and fitness skills without the competitive commitment, and the RLSS Rookie Lifeguard Awards (ages 8-12yrs) which teaches self rescue, survival, and lifesaving sport skills - a great way to continue a love of the water and have fun with friends!​​​​​​​​​

These sessions are all aimed for those swimming 25m front and back, with deep water confidence.

Private Classes

We run private classes at our venues in specific time slots, and include private lessons in all our holiday intensive courses. 

​

Private lessons can be tailored specifically to improving a stroke, for working on breathing practices, and are especially good for building confidence for those who are more nervous - it is amazing to see the progress that can be achieved in a half hour lesson!

Inclusivity

We welcome all children into our lessons and we will discuss the class options and venues with you before booking on to ensure the learning environment will suit them best.

We follow the STA Rockhopper Series alongside the STA Learn to Swim Programme, which is developed specifically for learners who may require more support with, or who may find more structured and specific aspects of Learn to Swim criteria difficult to achieve. This allows us to celebrate all achievements and continue to build a love of swimming for all!

Our instructors have experience with those with ASD, ADHD and other learning needs, as well as working with those who have additional physical requirements.  

We will do our best to find the best class to enable your child to achieve their goals, and to enjoy the water!
