Swimming Crash Courses

We run Crash Courses for children during school holidays.

A Crash Course can provide an ideal chance for children already having swimming lessons to build on skills they are currently learning. They are also equally effective as an introduction to swimming lessons, or on a "one-off" basis to brush up on skills previously learned.

Our Crash Courses are open to children who are already attending Swim Scheme lessons and to those who are not.

Please click Lessons and Courses to see the descriptions of the requirements for each swimming stage.

Teacher Training Crash Course

Our teacher training crash course follows the same format as our normal crash course. The difference is that the teachers taking the lessons are training to become swimming teachers. As part of the course they have to demonstrate their teaching skills in a practical setting. We will have one of our Co-ordinators on duty, some of our assistant teachers and the Swim England Tutor leading the course will also be on the poolside during the session.
The course will run over 5 days with a lesson at the same time each day.
