Learn to Swim
The Learn to Swim programme and Stroke Development classes are taking place in local school pools in term time. Lessons are 30 minutes each.
Learn to Swim
“Learn to Swim” lessons are held at Heritage House School pool, Cameron Road, Chesham on Tuesday and Friday evenings. This pool is a hydrotherapy pool so is very warm and ideal for young beginners. There are two teachers working at a time with up to ten children between them. In this way we can accommodate siblings of different standard at the same time. The teachers are in the water with the children which we find is the quickest way to give the swimmer confidence and get them swimming.
Tuesday lessons are at 6.00 and 6.30 pm. Friday lessons are at 6.30 & 7.00 pm.
Stroke Development
“Stroke Development” lessons are held at the Royal Masonic School pool, Chorleywood Road, Rickmansworth. Here children are taught basic stroke technique, starts and turns and the aim is to get them to club standard if they so wish.
Lessons are on Wednesday evenings at 6.00 & 6.30 pm and Saturday mornings at 9.00, 9.30 & 10.00 am.
Here there is one teacher and a lifeguard, who may go in the water to demonstrate, but the teacher is not in the water. Swimmers need to be able to swim about 20 yards comfortably and be safe in deep water. There are up to 8 children in each group.
Classes are grouped according to ability.
Fees: All fees are payable BEFORE the commencement of each course. This covers the swimmers for insurance purposes.
Registration Fee £ 5.00
Course Fees £60 / term at Heritage House for Learn to Swim.
Course Fees £50 / £60 term at RMS for Stroke Development.
The aim of the scheme is to develop children's swimming skills from the earliest stages to entry into the swimming club and to produce a confident and safe swimmer with a love of the water.
