Little Lifeguards

Our very own creation, this course was designed to teach children between the ages of 9 and 11 years old what to do if they see someone in difficulty in a swimming pool; just like real lifeguards. It will give them an awareness of hazards as well as the skills to assist both themselves and others should the unthinkable happen. They will be provided with a training manual, whistle and T-shirt for this course.

Masterclass

An advanced technique course aimed at those above Improver 3 standard. The course focuses on two strokes per term, half a term on one aspect and half on another. These will be chosen from: Frontcrawl, Backcrawl, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Diving and will include the competitive sides of the stroke such as starts and turns.

Watersafety

A course designed specifically to teach your child about the dangers in and around water whether in the home, garden, pool or at the beach. They will cover basic skills to keep them safe as well as what to do should they find themselves in difficulty. Essential skills for every child's education – are you confident your child would know what to do?

Swim Squad

Training sessions run much the same as a swimming club without the competitions. We work on advanced stroke techniques over long distances and also carry out time trials to monitor their progress. The training each week will be varied to cover all strokes throughout the term and at an hour per session this is also a great way for your child to keep fit!

Nars Cross

Our newest course, the National Rescue Standard is aimed at teenagers wishing to learn more about lifesaving, resuscitation and 1st aid. This course runs for 2 hours, some of which will be spent in the pool the rest in the training room this is perfect for those wishing to become full pool lifeguards at 16 years old.
