Swimmers academy

Children can start with Swimmers Academy from 4 years old. Some children have come through the Baby Swimmers programme, however others have joined without any prior swimming experience, we just think it is important to get children in the water and confident as soon as possible and therefore teach whatever your child’s age or ability from beginners through to advanced swimmers. Once children are confident in the water we focus on stroke technique, stamina and survival skills, following the STA Structured Awards Programme. Children will start with the Stanley Awards which have 8 in the series, with the aim of progressing and achieving one award every one or two terms. Once these have been achieved children will move onto the more advanced Goldfish, Angel Fish and Shark series all the way through to Gold Advanced Swimmer and then on to our Lifesaving Awards.
