City SUMMER
SWIM COURSES
Every summer we run a series of intensive
swimming courses for beginners and improvers.
The children come for a half hour lesson every weekday for two
weeks. The courses are designed to be
a lot of fun, but at the same time instructive. Improvers are able to work on their technique and improve
their strokes. With the flexibility
afforded by the two pools at the City Baths, they get the opportunity to go
for distance badges (anything from 100m to 3,000m) and can also learn other
skills, such as diving and personal survival techniques. For the beginners it is all about having fun and building
confidence. Even if a child ends the
course still needing arm bands, they should be enjoying being in the water
and looking forward to the day they can swim.
In addition to the teacher, we have three qualified assistants in the
water, a ratio of 1:3, which accelerates the childrens’
development, especially the more timid ones.
This year, 261 children attended the courses, of which 70 learnt to
swim for the first time unaided, swimming distances from 5m to 25m. Every child is awarded an ASA badge and certificate at the
end of the course to mark their achievement. We also take digital photographs of all the children to
record their progress and parents can purchase calendars or year planners
with a different picture for each month.
These are very popular indeed.
