Swimming Lessons
We are making a number of changes to our children’s swimming lessons from September 2016.
The lesson programme is being streamlined and a new comprehensive computer system installed which will lead to
online bookings in the future.
Groups – We have reduced the amount of groups for children’s swimming lessons by removing Tadpoles. We will
continue to teach to the same ASA national plan for teaching swimming framework.
ASA Stages Criteria – removal of Tadpoles means that the criteria for the remaining groups will have to be different
and/or there will be additional criteria to meet.
Swimming criteria September 2015 to July 2016
Ducklings
Ducks
Tadpoles
Frogs
Swans
Penguins

Re-booking group lessons
If you are already on our swimming lesson programme you will be issued a ticket on one of the last two lesson of the
term to state which group you will be in.
Your allocated place will be saved up to the start of the open enrolment period, after which unless you have paid, your
place will be removed.
If the place allocated for your child is not suitable you may move the booking during our open enrolment period.
To pay for your child’s lessons please see the leisure pool reception – you must have your child’s membership card, or
if paying over the telephone please quote the number on the back of the card.
Lost cards can be replaced at a charge of £3 each.
