lessons are important
Swimming
lessons are, in our opinion, the greatest gift a parent can give to their
children. Swimming is the only health promoting fun activity which also provides
a child with the tools and skills to save their own life.
At Splashtastic, safety is paramount. All children are taught a healthy respect
for the water and its potential dangers, and in a professional but gentle and calm
manner, all are encouraged to quickly achieve the Preliminary Safety Award standard.
To help incentivise the children, we follow the ASA Award Scheme, and as appropriate,
badges are awarded at the end of each full term. 'All' our swimming teachers are
ASA qualified and hold a current life saving qualification, a current first aid
certificate, and regularly test and update their skills.
Fees are payable by cash or cheque in advance of each term. If required, we can
also accommodate half-term payments. We are unable to offer refunds for sickness
or holiday absences.

Our senior swimming teacher and
proprietor is Alexis Meechan. Alexis has over seventeen years experience of teaching children
to swim.
All swimming lessons are pupil centred and taught with enthusiastic dedication. Because we believe the instructor
should also get wet, our swim lessons always involve the tutor and pupil working together in the pool!
We are extremely proud of our teaching methods, our experienced team of instructors are second to none, and the
results obtained speak for themselves.
Although the wearing of goggles is not encouraged, once the child can achieve a distance of 50 metres, they may
be permitted. Where appropriate, teachers may occasionally recommend goggle use. |
