At the swim school we will be teaching the Swim England Learn to swim framework from stages 1-10. A list of the outcomes and targets for each stage are listed below in the links for the Swim England website. Together with these awards we will also assess the child for other certificates such as water skills, distance badges and aqua challenge.
Stages 1-7 take the child from non swimmer, focusing on water confidence, through to being able to swim 25m in all four strokes as well as having competent water skills ability.
Stages 8-10 are competitive swimming awards where the skills learned previously are used to improve speed, stamina and strength in a more lane based swimming lesson. Starts and turns are reinforced, whilst timed swims are introduced at this level.
