Frequently asked questions

Nervous about learning to swim?2017-08-20T09:20:47+00:00

If your child is nervous about learning to swim, then we offer confidence building classes (Splash & Play) where parent/guardian will join us in the pool. It is the perfect way to start. If mum/dad/grandmother/granddad doesn’t swim then 1:1 lessons are recommended until a basic level of water confidence is reached.

What should we bring to lessons?2017-08-01T08:31:29+00:00

Just swimsuit and towel. Goggles are optional, and we provide all equipment including buoyancy aids for all swimmers.

What do we do when we arrive for our first lesson?2017-07-23T11:20:38+00:00

Inform reception you are here for your lesson with Swim Champs, they will buzz you through to changing areas. Change and proceed to poolside where our team with meet you, introduce themselves, call registers and then start lessons. If there is a lesson being taught, please wait patiently to one side until one of the instructors comes over. Thank you

Swimmers will undergo a formal assessment at the end of each course of lessons, and parents will be informed via a slip of paper as to whether swimmers have achieved all learning outcomes therefore passing their current level and moving up to the next class, or needing to repeat a course until outcomes are achieved

Yes- these will all be awarded at the end of each course. All swimmers swimming correct strokes unaided will complete a distance swim and offered a reward. All badges and certificates can be purchased poolside from teachers at a price of £4 per set

Guide to Levels

If you are unsure of what level to book please read the information on our levels below.

We recommend all beginners to start in SPLASH 1.

Swimmers will complete the splash framework first which will increase their water confidence and develop the early water fundamentals.

On completion of Splash 6 swimmers can progress to the wave framework where we teach the more technical aspects of swimming.
