Crash Courses? What Are They?


We operate Crash Courses throughout selected half-terms and school holidays, these are perfect for anyone currently booked in and wants to boost their progress. These lessons are also open to those who are waiting for lessons with us, and even those that want to give us a try.

What Abilities Can Attend?

These sessions follow our Learn to Swim Pathway, covering Stage 1 (beginners, aged 4+) to Stage 5, as well as Seahorses for those 3+.

For our Stage 1 and Seahorses’ classes, our teachers will use hands on support as well as floatation aids to provide support to the newer swimmers.

We won’t need a parent in the water for any of our Crash Course lessons.

You are welcome to book a Crash Course space whether you are currently booked in with us or not.

What Will We Get Out Of These Lessons?

We expect everyone to make an improvement in their swimming from these sessions. However, we can’t guarantee that your child will complete a Stage in this week.

Children in Stage 1 classes often take months to achieve the required standard if starting as a complete beginner, please use this as an opportunity to gain some quick progress in a short amount of time.

If you are attending one of our higher Stages for the week (above Stage 1+), we may have availability for a permanent group lesson. If you would like to get booked in, please get in touch and we can find a suitable class.

What Stage Should I Book?

Before booking into our Crash Course please have a read of our Learn to Swim Pathway. We run very differently to many local swim schools and expect more from each Stage.

If your child is currently having lessons elsewhere, we would recommend booking them into one Stage below their current class. This normally means they end up in about the right class.

If they swim in Stage 3 (yellow hat) please book them into our Stage 2 class. If they swim in Stage 2 (orange hat) please book them into our Stage 1+ class.

Deep Water Classes

All our Stage 2 and higher classes will take place in deep water so children must be able to swim 10 metres on their front and back consistently.

If they need to be able to touch the floor, please book our Stage 1+ class.

Further Support

If you need any advice on which Stage to book, please get in touch and someone would be more than happy to help.
