Swimming Lessons at Meadowside Leisure and the National Plan for Teaching Swimming
The National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) takes the non-swimmer on a journey, from the first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water. The length of each set of lessons is twelve weeks. |
Adult and Baby and Pre-School Children Swimming Lessons
The swimmers 'journey through aquatics' starts with FOUNDATION, a programme for developing early years water confidence, which is encouraged through sessions for adult and baby and pre school Aqua Turtles lessons. The emphasis is on development of very basic movement skills and introduction to water and the swimming environment through fun and games.
Swimming Lessons for Children
The next stage of the swimmers journey continues at the age of 4 years at Meadowside Leisure Centre through the fundamental movement skills stage 1-7 of the NPTS.
Once the swimmer has developed the core range of skills children can move onto the fundamental sports skills, stages 8 - 10 of the NPTS in different aquatic disciplines. Maximum class numbers for swimming lessons is 10 children in the teaching pool classes and potentially 12 children in the main pool classes. There is, however, an option to attend 1 to 4 lessons if you think you child may benefit from a smaller class.

1 to 4 Swimming Lessons for Children
1 to 4 swimming lessons are for children who may benefit from a smaller group of no more than four children per class. If you feel your child needs a more intense lesson these classes my be for you. |

Adult Swimming Lessons
We will be providing lessons for adult beginners, to improve confidence and establish the fundamentals of swimming. We will also offer swimming lessons for those who can already swim but want to improve their swimming technique. Adult swimming lessons are fun, enjoyable and allow individuals to work at their own pace.
1 to 1 Swimming Lessons for Adults and Children
1 to 1 swimming lessons are more intense swimming lessons. If you feel you need a push start or perhaps you just feel more comfortable in a 1 to 1 lesson then this could be for you. 1 to 1 swimming lessons will run at various times throughout the week to suit you and are generally booked in blocks of six lessons.
