Turtles
Our babies love to have fun in the pool with our teachers and a trusted adult with them.
Playing with toys, exploring the water, learning some of the basic swimming skills and then transferring them into being able to swim as they move up through our scheme.
Turtles are the building blocks to being water confident and water safe.
Our groups are 3-11 months, 12-20 months, 20-28 months and 28-36 months.
Fishes
The transition stage from learning and playing with a parent in the water, to putting those skills together with their teacher in the pool. Learning through play and exploration is the way to really start taking those first little strokes on their own! learning to be independent and safe in the water and the rules of the pool.
Age 3-4 years
Penguin 1-3
Those first few metres unaided, without help are a massive achievement! Our Penguins 1,2 & 3 learn to swim independently up to 10 metres, learning Front & Back Crawl and Breaststroke introduction. A range of skills are taught and learnt which include our message of water safety and build on the water confidence of each and every swimmer.
Penguin 1 = up to 2 metres
Penguin 2 = 2 metres to 5 metres
Penguin 3 = 5 metres up to 10 metres
Age 4+
Penguin 4-7
Learning to swim up to 25 metres of recognised stroke, honing technique, become efficient, learning lifesaving and rescue techniques and building upon stamina.
Front Crawl, Back Crawl, Breaststroke, Dolphin and Butterfly are worked on. Practicing in lots of fun ways helps to build up muscle memory. Moving onto working on speed and maintaining the stroke over a long distance.
Rookie Lifeguard
An all rounder of confidence building, rescue techniques and self-safety around the water. Including learning first aid, communication skills and fun trips such as Paddleboarding.
Disability/ Additional Needs
Our team have a lot of experience teaching and supporting people with additional needs, both physical and intellectual. Our locations are quiet and perfect for reducing outside factors that might make swimming inaccessible in larger settings.
Adult Lessons
We offer lessons for adults across all of our venues. Private lessons are the perfect set-up for swimmers of all abilities or we offer group lessons at our Lutterworth pool. Our team are trained in being able to offer support to nervous swimmers and swimmers that have a fear of the water, we can help you overcome them and start to love the water.
We also offer training to adults looking to improve technique for fitness or gearing up to complete a triathlon.
Lesson Format
We pride ourselves on lesson quality. All group lessons in our pool are limited to
6 children per class (with the exception of Penguin 6/7 and Rookie Lifeguard). We believe in being in the water with our little ones (up to Penguin 4) and taking their learning at their own pace.
Awards
We have set our own Award scheme and criteria, taking building blocks of the national plans and making each jump between awards achievable.
We issue our awards to our swimmers when they complete the stage they are in. In March, our Swimmers will take part in our Octopus awards where they will learn all about water safety. In October, Our swimmers will work on how far they can swim in our distance week.
