The six progressive Swimming Club Awards help children make the transition from the Swim England Learn To Swim Programme to a club level swimmer. This session will be an option following on from the Challenge awards.

All the awards have to be delivered and assessed by a qualified level 2 swim coach. Level 3 Coach Mark Crouch will deliver this session. Swimmers achieving Level 2 of this award can then be recommended to a competitive club.These sessions take place at Castleton on Saturdays at 10-11am.

SWIM LESSONS UPDATE 19th September 2020

We are sorry that there has been very little information on our website and Facebook page concerning our lessons re-starting but we have only recently had the go ahead to submit plans and risk assessments for a possible re-start date.

Currently we have submitted those plans and assessments which have been guided by the National governing body of swimming,”Swim England”. As you would expect there will be many changes to the way we operate along with each pools own requirements to add to our plans. Obviously we want everyone to be safe within the pools environment and we are working to achieve this while trying to accommodate as many swimmers as possible.

We would ask all parents, who are interested in returning to lessons to send a reply using our get in touch section at the bottom of our website. Please fill in Name, email and phone contact information and mark the message “Place allocation”. and we will send you the plan and risk assessment, giving you as much information and guidance as possible. After you have read through the documents, could you please respond to let us know if you require us to secure your Childs space, with any feedback if not. We understand not all of the working arrangements may be acceptable to everyone so any negative feedback will be passed onto the centre management for their information and to consider.

Thank you all for your continued support

Mark, Sharon and the Team
