💦💦💦 Drowning Prevention Week 💦💦💦
Drowning Prevention week is just around the corner Monday 15th June to Saturday 20th June for all swimmers
Our Drowning Prevention Week gives all our swimmers a lesson to see how it would feel to be in the water, following an accidental submersion/fall into water, showing swimmers that they can relax, shout, swim, tread water, turn, float, climb in a safe fun learning environment

First Strokes Swimming School
Our Parent & Child lessons are suitable for swimmers from 6months and Early Strokes lessons are suitable for swimmers from 18 months and are a perfect introduction to swimming 💦💦Swimmers will start to explore their independence in the water with lots of kicking, singing, and fun activities to help them along 🎶 🎶
Our progressive lessons will soon have our swimmers confidently putting their faces in the water and swimming short distances on front and back – with lots of jumping in along the way 🏊♀️🏊♂️🏊♀️
