From doggy paddle to front crawl
The SWIM ENGLAND LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM is a leading international teaching syllabus for delivering safe, inclusive and effective swimming lessons for all ages.
The structured and progressive content is based on a games led approach to ensure the children enjoy learning. With the bright new range of badges and certificates, the programme provides motivation and support for children at every level – from their first splash to gaining their enhanced aquatic skills.
If you are not already letting your children experience the joy of swimming, then please get in touch so that we can get your little one/s booked in for an assessment, and into the water. Don’t delay, book now – our classes fill up quickly!
Baby Swim
Ages: six months to average two-years old
Duration: 30 Minutes
The program followed is that of Enid’s Swimming Babes (PBSTA) which is designed to let you have that extra special time with your precious child, whilst allowing them to develop intellectually, socially and emotionally at a pace that suits every one individually. Parents/caregivers are taught how to keep their little one safe in and around the water, by using the correct holds and cues. There are no forceful submersions, each child will learn at their own pace, based on what they can achieve on land.

This program follows on promoting group interactivity, whilst motivating the children to develop their FUNdamental and Core aquatic skills.

Stroke development is also started in this program as and when your child is ready.

Diving, tumbleturns and Aquatic Development are also included at this level.

If so, we’re guessing that you’ve never discovered the joy of swimming. If you’ve never enjoyed the freedom of being able to dive right in or the thrill of making a giant splash while shouting ‘Bombs away!’ then it’s time to take the plunge and talk to us about swimming lessons.

Are you a busy parent with too much left on your ‘to do’ list at the end of the day? At Aqua Marine Aquatics Academy we understand that sometimes there just isn’t enough time for anything extra – especially extra curricular. Which is why we offer group ‘Learn to swim’ classes for nursery schools in the weekday mornings so that children don’t miss out on this essential skill and busy parents can tick one more thing off their list, without taking up any more of their time throughout the day.
Special needs? No problem!
We offer the facilities to teach any children with special needs (such as autism and cerebral palsy, for example). Our highly qualified team of swimming instructors has the skills and the resources (wheelchair access and a heated pool) to give individual attention tailored specifically to meet each child’s individual needs and unique set of circumstances.
Please contact us for more information as depending on your children’s unique abilities they may be able to join one of our group classes, or possibly have to come for a private session.
