Click here for the latest Bubble Super Swim Scheme Lesson Times
The Bubble Super Swim Scheme is designed to teach children from a young age the initial stages of water play right through to improve their swimming techniques in all four strokes. They will learn new skills that will allow them to progress from swimming in shallow water to gaining confidence that will allow them to swim competently in deep water. Children will be able to achieve Duckling Awards and progress through the National Swim Awards (NSA) Level 1 to 12. Classes are run over a ten week period.
Rookie Lifesavers - Children must be able to swim 50m.
