Next Steps
Swimming doesn't stop when you have learned to swim, it's just the beginning of a lifelong journey.
We offer many different ways to continue within the sport of swimming once children have achieved stage 7.
We are also home to 3 independent clubs who also offer a opportunities for children who want to continue there swimming journey
Rookie Lifeguards
Built into the programme are lessons in valuable survival, rescue and sports skills…all delivered in an exciting way that will get children involved and motivated.
Rookie Lifeguard is aimed at children – though the skills learned through the course of the programme are just as valuable to people of all ages. The scheme begins with Stage 1 of the Bronze Award and progresses to Stage 3 of the Gold Award, starting off at an ability level suitable for brand-new swimmers and progressing to the level where our Rookie Lifeguards perform impressive lifesaving tows.
Even the shyest kids find they make new friends through the Rookie Lifeguard scheme, as teamwork and peer support are crucial elements of the programme.
