Adult & Child Lessons

Adult & child lessons are the foundation phase of the National Plan For Teaching Swimming (NPTS). The foundation phase consists of five awards called Duckling Awards and the Adult & Child Award; these awards are designed to equip your child in basic water confidence at a young age before they are introduced to group lessons.

Classes are mixed ability, with an ASA Swimming Teacher on poolside for "Advice & Guidance".

Children as young as three months up to four years of age, can take part in these lessons, once your child reaches the age of four they will be phased in to group lessons without the need to re-apply on to our group lesson waiting list.

Our adult & child lessons are structured as a 10-week consecutive block during term time, which take place at the St Bees School swimming pool, at the end of each block you will receive an A5 individual assessment form which will identify your Childs strengths & weaknesses in their current swimming development grade.

Group Lessons

Group lessons are designed for children aged 31/2 years and older, classes are organized by swimming ability & may be mixed age ranges due to abilities, All of our lessons are continually assessed on each lesson your child attends to ensure your child has achieved overall consistency & competence in their swimming development.

Lessons are structured in private swimming pool facilities with only running ‘one lesson’ in the swimming pool at any one time, along with maintaining manageble class sizes, guaranteed! Which creates a fun and active learning environment; this will ensure your child gains confidence and competence in their swimming much sooner due to no distractions from other teachers and classes being taught in the water.

We are also comitted in making your childs swimming experience more personel, ensuring your child's teacher will follow your child through their swimming development journey ensuring consistency between teacher and pupil.

Our ratio of pupils to teacher:

• Stages 1 to 4 = 8:1 (Teacher in water during early development stages)
• Stages 5 to 10 = 10:1
• Adult & Child = 10:1

Depending on your child’s swimming development Stage will depend on which swimming pool they will attend, please see below which swimming Development Stages run from which pool:

• NPTS development Stages 1 – 4 - Mayfield School Hydrotherapy Pool
• NPTS development Stages 5 – 10 - St Bees School Swimming Pool
