Children Programme
Learn to Swim
The main focus of the Learn to Swim programme is completing the Stage 1-7 Awards as part of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. These awards are divided into progressive stages, forming the core syllabus for primary school-aged children (from four years of age). They are designed to reward children for developing core aquatic skills, ensuring they become confident, competent, and safe in the water.
Classes will be designed working towards one and/or more of the following in each term:
- Learn-to-Swim Stages 1 to 7
- Water Skills Grades 1 to 6
- Water Safety Awards 1 to 3
