School Age Lessons
Our school age lessons cater for all abilities from complete beginners through to pre-competitive swimmers. Our teaching methods place the emphasis on good technique before swimming distance. We also place high importance on giving your swimmers 'downtime' activities, so that when they're waiting for their turn they are practicing a relevant skill. This provides as much reinforcement and practice time as possible for the swimmers. The majority of classes are 30mins long with a maximum of 5 children per class. However our higher levels can extend to 45mins and have a higher number of children in.
Our pathway of progression and objectives throughout are detailed below:

Mini Squad
This is a 45minute session and swimmers are strongly recommended to swim 2 or 3 times per week. There is still a large technique focus but we start to introduce more of a 'coaching' focus and is the first step into competitive squad swimming. Once swimmers are deemed 'ready' by our club coaches we offer 2 pathways after our Mini Squad level. One is down the competitive route and one is squad training to assist fitness for other aquatic sports that your child may be involved in. To read more about these ask reception at your site and read our squads pages.
All of our stroke and minisquad swimmers get the opportunity twice per year to participate in our race days. These are a great intro into competitive swimming but we put the emphasis on fun and giving it a go! Swimmers choose which events they would like to have a go at and swim against children from other locations.
