Learn to swim stages 1-7
Mastering Swimming with Confidence
Our Learn to Swim program has been carefully designed to take swimmers from complete beginners to confident and competent individuals in the water.
Stage 1
This class is ideal for nervous beginners. Our teachers enter the water with you, providing constant support and building basic water confidence. Fun and engaging lessons focus on water control and building trust in the aquatic environment.
Stage 2
This is for swimmers who can ditch support aids and swim 5 metres independently on their front or back. Our qualified swimming teachers at our Billericay and Basildon locations will remain in the water to offer reassurance and extra support as you continue to build confidence.
Stage 3
Focus on refining your breathing technique, progressing towards breathing laterally with an arm-over recovery. We introduce fun and productive lessons that include basic dolphin kicking and the exciting addition of breaststroke!
Stage 4
Drawing on our competitive experience, here's where we introduce basic competitive techniques like tumble turns and diving. We believe the earlier you learn these skills, the more adaptable and progressive you become as you grow. By introducing them at a young age, we help eliminate potential anxieties that may develop later.
Stage 5
Stage 5 welcomes all four strokes, including butterfly! We also introduce basic survival techniques, like treading water and shouting for help, ensuring you feel confident and prepared in any situation.
Stages 6 & 7
Time to fine-tune! We focus on perfecting all four strokes and introduce competitive events like Individual Medley and racing starts. Advanced tumble turns on all strokes are mastered, alongside a comprehensive understanding of personal survival protocols.
