National Swim Scheme
Kings Swim Scheme is a comprehensive and ″all-inclusive″ programme designed by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and taught by qualified and experienced instructors. There are 10 stages to the scheme and the details are listed below. If you are unsure of your child′s ability we will be happy to conduct a free assessment to determine which stage they should join. All swimmers are continuously assessed and badges are awarded when achieved.
Stage 1-3
The first three stages will take your child through from a complete beginner to swimming 10 metres. We incorporate the use of water confidence games and activities as well as giving them the building blocks to swimming all four strokes.
Stages 4-6
These stages take place in the middle and deep end of our pool and will focus on refining the 4 swimming strokes as well as introducing new water skills and water safety. We will also be working towards building stamina and distance.
Stages 7-10
Children will be now be swimming lengths and will be developing quality stroke technique and distance. Within these stages there is an introduction to competitive swimming and the children will be taught turns, timed swims, swimming drills and swimming exercises. All the skills they have learnt throughout the programme will be consolidated and your children will have developed the core range of skills required to be a confident, competent and safe swimmer.
