It is the national syllabus produced by Swim England to assist and support the delivery of swimming lessons.
We encourage everyone to learn at their own pace. Some learners are more naturally competent and confident in the water and may progress faster. Others are slower to learn new skills but can quite often become stronger and more proficient swimmers as they progress.
Baby and toddler swimming lessons are less about teaching infants to swim and more about getting them used to the water and learn skills that support cognitive development. We offer sessions for babies from 3 months old and upwards.
