Swim Academy (school-age)
Swim Academy classes are only available at selected locations. In these lessons we aim to develop strokes through games and creative thinking, continuing the same ethos seen in our pre-school classes. In doing this we teach children to swim efficiently at an early age without the use of armbands.
We continue to use the STA Award schemes in our programme, offering classes for Beginners and Intermediate, Advanced and Development Group. Whether your child is continuing into the Swim Academy from Puddle Ducks pre-school classes, or is new to Puddle Ducks, you will find that we are skilled at both developing confidence and teaching advanced skills to young children.
Children progress through the levels into the Development Group and may stay in the Development Group for as long as they wish, improving their front crawl, breast stroke, back stroke and basic dolphin kick as well as having fun with different surface diving skills and games. Once you feel your child is ready for the next challenge we can recommend swimming and lifesaving clubs that they may wish to join.
Our focus is on fun whilst learning to swim in a graceful, efficient style.
