Currently, there are over 800 children in the scheme and classes are run every weekday evening and Saturday and Sunday morning, a total of 21½ hours per week. Blocks of classes are run every quarter throughout the year. As several classes are usually run concurrently, siblings of different ability are easily catered for. Teaching is based on the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming and the standard of teaching on the scheme is very high. The scheme is an integral part of the Swimming Club, feeding high quality swimmers into the squads and water polo, and subsidising the coaches and squad training. The Kingfishers Swimming Club is a very affordable family club with more than 120 children. The aim of the club is to teach and encourage children to enjoy swimming well. It is run by ASA qualified but voluntary teachers and parent’s participation is actively encouraged. Like the CLSS, teaching is based on the ASA National Plan and children progress from beginners through to advanced. Kingfishers SC has 7 hours of pool time per week. Again siblings are easily catered for as both pools are used at the same time. In addition there are 3 other swim schools operating at the City Baths at the weekends, with upwards of 150 children. All these clubs co-exist quite happily and in fact there is regular movement of swimmers between the clubs, especially between the CLSS and Kingfishers. Finally, as well as these teaching clubs, 18 schools use the City Baths. Several schools use both pools at once, economising on transport costs. Many of the schools are able to employ the services of experienced swimming teachers from the clubs at the baths.
