How do I prepare my child for a lesson?
Please arrive at the venue approximately 10-15 minutes before the class is due to start to give you time to find your bearings and get changed. Proceed onto the poolside just before the lesson is due to begin.
Don’t forget:
- Swimming costume or tight fitting trunks
- Towel
- Swimming hat
- Goggles (not compulsory)
- No jewellery
- No armbands – we will provide alternative floatation devices
Children should not swim on a full stomach; please don’t give your child anything substantial to eat one hour before your session.
If your child is feeling sickly, unwell or has an upset stomach it is not advised that they attend lessons.
Do lessons still run on bank holidays?
Yes, lessons do run on bank holidays. Please note that if you usually have a lesson in the afternoon/evening, the time of your lesson will change to allow for earlier bank holiday closing times. The adjusted time will be advised by the teacher. Morning lesson times are not affected.
Do lessons run during the school holidays?
How quickly will my child progress?
Speed of progression will vary depending on the swimmer and will be judged by the Swimming Instructor. Students will move up when they meet all of the skills criteria required for their current stage. You can see your child’s progress on the parent portal.
