Welcome...
We
are a Registered Charity aiming to provide affordable, quality swimming
lessons for young children aged from birth - 9 years. We operate
from the John Stanley Bell Memorial Pool situated in the grounds
of Hothfield Junior School, Hothfield Street, Silsden.
Children in all our classes apart from Cygnets are unaccompanied
by a parent/carer in the water. We have four ability groups, Ducklings
(Pre-School, instructor in the water), Tadpoles (Beginners), Otters
(Improvers) and Stingrays (Advanced). Children usually start as
a Duckling or Tadpole and progress naturally through the groups
according to skill, stamina and ability to concentrate.
We have Tadpole, Otter & Stingray lessons every night of the week
from approximately 4pm until 7pm and also Saturday mornings from
9am until 12pm. We hold Duckling lessons on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday lunchtimes and Thursday from 12 noon until
3pm and Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes. Cygnet lessons (under 3's)
are held on Tuesday mornings (10am and 10:30am), Thursdays (12:30pm and 2:30pm) and Friday lunchtimes (12:15pm).
There are generally between 10 and 12 children in each group with
only one lesson being taught at a time. There is no deep end at
our pool, the pool has a constant depth which is good at building
children's confidence when they are learning to swim. Parents can
watch the lessons from the side of the pool and sit there with smaller
children if necessary.
All our teaching staff hold Amateur Swimming Association Teaching
Qualifications and all our lifeguards hold current Lifeguarding
Qualifications.
