Learn To Swim Programme (LTSP)

Our learn to swim programme is based completely on the ASA national plan for teaching swimming supported by our own Cridders award scheme that rewards swimmers for their efforts when they do not achieve the required standard for an ASA award. We feel that it is important to celebrate and reward swimmers efforts.

 

Class sizes are limited as illustrated on the teacher pupil ratio page. We have adopted a visual aid of differing coloured swimming hats denoting class ability, which not only helps encourage the children to move onto the next level, but also acts as a safety reference point for us.

Class structure
Each class has its own hat colour and name. The colour denotes level and the class groups swimmers into similar abilities.
