(Head of Swim School and Swim Team)

The school was set up in 2001 in an effort to provide swimming lessons for children with working parents. As my wife and I are working parents we were extremely frustrated that no one catered for us, so we set up the school to help others in a similar position.

Since those early days the school has developed and now offers swimming lessons for children four times a week and employs eight teachers and twelve pool assistants.

Our school follows the Amateur Swimming Association (A.S.A.) National Swimming Plan for teaching swimming which has been developed so that there is a national plan that can be followed by swim schools, clubs and local authorities.

The team is a mixture of qualified new young talent and experienced mature professionals. Our teachers have acquired a vast amount of experience in many aspects of aquatic provision especially teaching swimming. Many of our teachers have a competitive swimming background and most of us are parents.

Cridders is a vibrant and fun place to learn and you will find our friendly, professional and progressive school a good place for your child to acquire an essential life skill.
