Lovely review from one of our crash course Mum’s

“Hi team.

Just wanted to drop an email to thank you for my daughter’s first lesson with you guys today. Her teacher Lewis was so engaged with the kids and welcoming as we arrived. The actual class was a joy to watch and having had an honestly hideous term with a local centre, my daughter honestly achieved more in her 30 minutes at 10am today than she has in a previous term elsewhere.

My daughter is beaming, she clearly worked properly in class as she came out hungry and I am utterly delighted we have joined you. Thank you.

What we’re doing for you:

Due to the depth of the water in the pool, it is still considered the safest option to have our teachers teach from the water in our beginner and improver classes. Our staff have undertaken training in accordance with the new National Guidelines on the safest ways to teach swimmers from the water, during this pandemic
Some of our teachers may wear face masks / shields if they chose to do so
Number of swimmers in the pool has been reduced

Floats/aids/pool equipment will be cleaned after each lesson
Swimmers will keep the same float/equipment for the duration of their lesson
