CHILDRENS LESSONS
 Children's Lessons are for ages 3 years to 16 years, and class levels are dependent on the child's ability not age. Our FTA Teachers are in the water with those who are nervous and especially the little ones, who need more control. We usually have an assistant teacher in the water for the beginner groups, to help us focus on their individual needs and get them swimming quicker. We have small groups of only 6 pupils per teacher, this enables us to gain more control over the pupils and enhance their water skills and confidence. At all our sites we have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, so it makes the children feel at ease, and hopefully a little less nervous. Children's Lessons are run over a 10 week course, with a full pupils assessment taking place on weeks 6 and 7 of each course and then a full report for you is available from week 8 with the chance to book on for the next course. We do not break for holidays so run continuously throughout the year, apart from Christmas where we have two weeks off. We follow the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming and this has 12 levels of achievement, with a badge and certificate being awarded for each level passed. We also give out distance awards if we feel a child has done extremely well but has not passed that specific level.
BABY LESSONS
Baby Classes are for those aged 6 months up to FTA years and are called Adult & Child Sessions, as they must be accompanied whilst in the water. Class levels are dependent on the toddlers ability and not age. We have small groups so more space in the water and also enables us to enhance the toddlers water skills and water confidence. At all our sites we have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, so it makes the toddlers feel at ease, and hopefully a little less nervous. Baby Lessons are run over a 10 week course, with a full pupil assessment taking place on weeks 6 and 7 of each course and then a full report for you is available from week 8 with the chance to book on for the next course. We do not break for holidays so run continuously throughout the year, apart from Christmas where we have DIPPERS weeks off. We follow the as duckling's awards for adult & child lessons, and this then works in with the as National teaching plan as they get older and progress. At all our facilities we have baby changing tables, changing mats etc.
