Our service to you:

We will provide swimming lessons using STA or SE qualified swimming Instructors who will use Swim-With-Me progressive tuition. Our fully trained swimming Instructors will work in and out of the water, teaching students to focus on achieving optimum results by helping support the body if required and aiding correct stroke technique through demonstration and guidance. We will provide, whenever possible, a temporary cover Instructor in the event of the absence of the regular Instructor. We will assess students on a continual basis using Swim-With-Me continual assessment and awarding Certificates & Badges (purchase required). We will endeavor to maintain class sizes but Swim-With-Me reserves the right to change the size and structure of swimming classes without notice. An Instructor and Assistant combination are not always guaranteed. Swimming days and times are not guaranteed. Swim-With-Me prides itself on its water-based tuition but cannot always guarantee this service in each class.
