FAQ
We find as a coaching team around three years of age is a good time to try to encourage your children to learn to swim. Both the child and parent will gain more from the lessons then. Occasionally we do take children younger depending on availibility. However these children are quite often siblings of other children swimming already at that time.
We strive to give as much feedback as possibe both to the parents and child. The children will follow the Swim England Awards Scheme. This comprises of a huge range of rewards. The children will start their swimming pathway as a duckling and then progress through the stages earning distance awards as they go. The children will also receive a written report and a badge and certificate after each term completed.
As a general guide, it is accepted practise that if your child is aged 8 or over, that they use their own gender changing rooms. Some of our pools also have access to disabled changing facilities and direct poolside access if required. Please contact the team if you require more detailed information on this.
