Over the years the swimschool has gone from strength to strength with her staff of over 20 teachers they have taught in excess of 10,000 children and adults to swim and regularly teach circa 1200 swimmers every week.

Learning to swim can be such a nerve racking experience for both the young and the old, but once mastered it is great fun. It will help create a healthier lifestyle if undertaken regularly and enable a safer environment when around water. All our classes have smaller pupil teacher ratios than those recommended by Swim England or the STA.

At the end of a lesson the children had to wait to jump on a large float, whilst waiting outside the water for their turn, cold. (Once they had their turn they were free to return to their parents to end their lesson) 2 children had been waiting in their group at the back of the queue for 5+ mins and last thing were told they could go get dressed now, without getting to do what the others had done before them. Nothing to do with ability. As I asked for my child to be
