Thank you. Welcome . . .
We are a Registered Ch arity aiming to provide affordable, quality swim ming 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, Silsd en.
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), Ott ers (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 nigh t of the week from approximately 4pm until 7pm and also Saturday mornings from 9am until 1pm. 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 and 11:30am), Thursdays ( 1:30pm), Friday lunchtimes (12:15pm) and Saturdays (12 noon).
There are generally no more than 10 children in each group with only one l esson being taught at a time. There is no deep end at our pool, the pool has a constant depth which is good at buil ding children's confidence whe n 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 either Amateur Swimming Association or Swimming Teacher’s Association Teaching Qualifications and our lifeguards hold current Lifeguarding Qualifications.
