Water safety

We cover under water swimming and water safety skills enabling your child to jump in, turn around underwater and swim back to the side.
Our focus is on constant safe supervision and water safety. Lessons take place in a safe, positive and fun environment.

Water safety lessons
Every term at all venues
We believe water safety is about learning good habits around water. Water safety begins at 4 months with our swim baby programme and continues through our kids lessons.
Your child will benefit from our water safety lessons, these are the foundation of our programme
Water safety for babies
Babies (and parents) learn water safety routines which develop with your child’s age.
These safety routines come together as the Water Safety Sequence where children are able to jump in, turn around underwater, swim back to the poolside and climb out.
Water safety for children
Every child takes part in our water safety lesson which takes place on the penultimate lesson of every term.
We purposely deliver our water safety message on this specific lesson as it tends to fall in line with holidays, a time when children may be around the swimming pool or sea and most at risk.
Water safety lesson format
On poolside, teachers go through the water safety code and age specific pictures to help get the water safety message across to their class.
Older children then have the opportunity to swim in their clothes, this helps them to understand the huge difference in weight and effort required to swim while clothed.
