We teach your child to swim independently, beautifully and confidently, and to love and respect the water.
We teach children to be safe in and around the water, this includes knowing what to do should they fall into open water such as a lake or a river. Learning to swim is primarily a lifesaving/safety skill, so they will master water safety and swimming skills.
We follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Awards which are about developing confident and competent swimmers through fun and enjoyment.
This Framework builds the skills and motivation needed to develop a lifelong love of water and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle through swimming.
Swim England
The Awards are divided into progressive stages & make up the core national syllabus and the backbone of swimming lessons for primary school aged children.
The Awards are designed to reward your child for their development of the essential aquatic skills they need to be confident, competent and safe in the water.
Each of the Learn to Swim Stage Awards has a list of clear outcomes that need to be completed in order to gain each Award.

Swimming Hat Policy
From November 2024 every child enrolled on to lessons at will be required to wear a swimming hat. For children 3 years upwards.
To purchase a suitable hat, please follow the link below
The policy has been introduced for the following reasons:
• Wearing a swimming hat helps to reduce pollutants in the water and therefore allows us to reduce the amount of chemicals we need to use, making the water quality even better. It also helps prevent pool closures due to water clarify and hair blocking pool filters.
• Swimming hats help to prevent ear infections and help to protect hair from chlorine and other pool chemicals.
• Hats help keep long hair out of pupils’ faces
• Swimming hats act as a safety feature, as the swimming teacher can identify swimmers easily
Considerations:
We understand some children have sensory issues – those with SEN diagnosis we recommend fabric material hats over silicone and can be found below.
There is a “3 strike rule” for children who forget or refuse to wear the swimming hat:
• 1st strike – a verbal reminder to parents that hats need to be worn.
• 2nd strike another verbal reminder on poolside that the child should wear a swimming hat during lessons.
• 3rd strike – parent is told that the next time the child arrives without a swimming hat they will not be allowed to participate in the lesson.
• 4th occasion that child arrives without hat they are informed that they can’t participate unless they purchase a new hat of their choice.
We will have spare swimming hats on poolside that children can use at their own risk. These will be used swimming hats and must be handed back at the end of the session. This is a short-term fix if hats have been forgotten only.
FAQs
What Stage should my child start in?
Swim Lessons: When to Start & what you Should Know
Learning to swim is an important life skill that can play a key role in helping to prevent drowning―a top cause of death among children. Children, and their parents, need to learn how to swim to help keep time in the water safe and fun!
When should my child learn to swim?
Children develop at different rates, and not all are ready to begin swim lessons at exactly the same age. When making your decision, keep your child’s emotional maturity, physical and developmental abilities and limitations, and comfort level in the water in mind. Maybe group classes might not work so have you considered 1-2-1 tuition. Learn more…
Swim lessons for children ages 4 and up
By their 4th birthday, most children are ready for swim lessons. At this age, they usually can learn basic water survival skills such as floating, treading water and getting to an exit point. By age 5 or 6, most children in swim lessons can master the front crawl. If your child hasn’t already started in a learn-to-swim program, now is the time!
