DON’T LET YOUR KIDS’ SWIMMING SKILLS DROWN DURING WINTER

It might be winter, and you might be rugged up … but facts are, it’s warmer in the water than out of it!!
But sadly, winter swimming is often less popular. However, for those passionate parents, keen to keep the kids kicking during this period, there are some big benefits:

1. Not only will your child be safer in and around water through your persistence, but the consistency will strengthen their skills, ability and confidence; and

2. Every swimming lesson dollar you spend, has even greater value! Why? In some places, due to the cooler season drop-off … – Attending kids may be offered more personalised time with their teacher;- As a result, children may progress more quickly due to the  increased teacher attention; and  – Winter swimming kids will most likely maintain their touch of the water, preparing them for spring and summer.

Rain, hail, sleet, snow or just a chilly day – now there’s never a reason to skip a swimming session this Winter!

SAFER steps for SAFER swimmers

You may have seen them, but do you know them – do you follow them?They’re called the SAFER ‘Layers of Protection’; they’re ASSA’s top-line effective water safety checklist, which we insist should be applied when children are in and around all aquatic environments, to help reduce the risk of drowning tragedies.
SAFER – it’s our acronym, and it’s also our aim … while accidents can and do happen, by ensuring you apply the LAYERS, you’re helping to reduce the risk.Remember the acronym, remember the Layers and help build a SAFER nation of swimmers.

We will be running a number of teachers shadowing lessons as part of our teacher’s professional development. You may therefore have two teachers in some lessons as we each watch, learn and provide feedback to each other.This is part of our continuing commitment to ensuring we have quality and consistency in our teaching and that all lessons continue to be tailored to meet the needs of your child.
