  • Deliver a varied programme to suit all levels and abilities.
  • Encourage skilful and competent stroke technique.
  • Teach water safety and to make pupils aware of the dangers of water.

Our Learn to Swim scheme is available for all ages and abilities and is based on the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association) 'National Plan for Teaching Swimming'. We are continually aiming to improve our service and extend our range of classes to suit our customer demands.
