Kids Swim School
Our new program is designed to encourage and motivate kids who have successfully completed their swimming lessons and may not be interested in joining traditional swimming clubs to continue developing their enjoyment of swimming.
This is a crucial age for swimmers to develop excellent, robust technique that will serve them well into their adult life.
-
Children Aged 8 - 12 who have had swimming lessons and want to improve their front crawl. This session is ideal for kids who do not want to go into swimming clubs but wish to become better swimmers. It is also great for budding triathletes.
-
Swimmers need to be able to swim front crawl for at least 50m continuously and repeat this. It doesn't need to be perfect—that's why you are coming to us!
-
The session will last 45 minutes—30 minutes of dedicated technique work, with lots of instruction and feedback. The final 15 minutes may include some repetitive efforts to get them used to fitness work and develop technical robustness. This may also include learning to tumble turn, dive starts, and use a pace clock.
-
We have a curriculum adapted from our programme for developing front crawl in adults.
We emphasise mastering basic skills, which come from good execution and repetition. Kids may find this boring, and for them to learn, they need to be engaged, so we have several exercises and methods that enable us to achieve repetitiveness and consistency but make it fun.
-
We have one lane, which will accommodate a maximum of 6 children.
Our first intake is 3rd September to 15th October (seven weeks) - we are making this a pay-as-you-go session so you can come along and see if our approach is for your child. Cost is £10 per session on a first come basis, bookable on our website.
From 29th Oct to 17th December, we will be taking bookings for the whole course - 8 weeks (£80)
The session is on Tuesdays from 6:10 to 6:55 p.m. at Castlerock Coalville. Parents are required to stay poolside during the session.
