Ellie Kendall, Swim Lead – Swimming is a great all-round exercise, working almost every muscle in your body without putting stress on your joints. So it’s perfect if you want to be more active and stay healthy whatever your age or ability.

For our youngest swimmers, we have the Swimbies programme which takes children aged 3 months to 3 years and works on the child’s water confidence through the use of songs and toys. This leads into our Pre-School lessons, which are for children aged 3-4 years and help the children explore the water more independently and introduces essential swimming skills such as floating and kicking.
The learn to swim programme for children from age 4 to 16 teaches and develops the child’s swimming skills via learning the basic techniques for all 4 strokes, achieving 10 metres on Front Crawl and Backstroke by the end of their Green milestones. They then move onto learning basics survival and rescue skills and following that, we get setting personal targets related to challenge award in fitness swimming, personal survival and junior lifesaving plus other aquatic sports.
