These swimming lessons will help your child to make waves with their swimming progress by building on top of the key swimming skills they've learnt in their previous lessons. With us their swimming techniques will start to refine in line with the Swim England Expected Standards across all four of swimming's super strokes; front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Our swimmers will also be introduced to the amazing Royal Life Saving Society's Rookie Lifeguard programme to improve their water safety skills in lots of different water conditions.
Advanced Swimming Lessons
Our Advanced Swimming Lessons teach quality stroke technique whilst also increasing the swimming distances of our students. All of the sensational swimming skills that our pupils have learned so far are now combined to develop linked routines and to complete obstacle courses that mix a whole host of swimming skills from previous stages. In these lessons our swimmers will also get to advance their incredible lifesaving skills. The inspiring Advanced Swimming Lessons at Barton Leisure Centre will see our swimmers finish our swimming programme with a beautiful connection with the water that will last a lifetime.
Schools Swimming Lessons
Water safety is a truly important life skill, which is why it is a mandatory part of the curriculum for PE at all UK primary schools.
The curriculum says pupils should be taught to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations and at Barton Leisure Centre we are proud to support local schools and community groups to host their PE classes or swimming lessons with us.
