Our Kick-Start Kids courses are both challenging and rewarding, allowing each child to develop their water confidence and swimming skills, whilst having fun.
We have designed progressive learning programmes for 4–7 year olds that follow the STA framework. There is a maximum of 4 children learning with a single teacher and the lessons are taught in our private, heated and purpose-built pool.
We offer 4 progressive levels, based on each child’s swimming ability, confidence and experience. Children are placed into the level that best suits their current stage of development, allowing them to build their skills and progress at their own pace.
Each level focuses on developing the key skills and techniques needed for confident, independent swimming. Children will work on areas including water confidence, body position, breathing, propulsion and stroke development, with skills becoming progressively more advanced as they move through Levels 1–4.
Children are taught through attentive teaching and support, utilising a platform in our pool where required, allowing them to stand safely in the water. Children will progress through the levels once they are able to consistently demonstrate the skills and techniques required for the next stage.
Parents don’t need to be in the water with their child, however, are required to help the children get dressed before and after the lesson and ensure they reach poolside for the teacher to collect them. We also ask that parents remain in our viewing area throughout the class – where of course you can sit back and relax with a treat from our coffee shop!
