Learn to Swim Lessons

Unattended by parent / carer in the water

Group lessons are taught in small groups of around 4 – 5 children from around 4 years old.

Children are taught to swim on their own with floatation aids such as discs, noodles and floats. Gradually these will be reduced so that swimmers can swim independently.

Lessons are 30 minutes long and based on a games led approach with the use of toys and floats to introduce and develop core aquatic skills

****

LTS Stage 1

For school aged children who are not yet completely water confident e.g. Not able to submerge their face, float on their front and back in a flat position or produce a push and glide in a flat position on front and back. Swimmers must be at least 4 years old and at school. Swimmers learn safety awareness, movement skills, water confidence, streamlining and basics of the strokes.
