JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT COURSES
The Splash Academy operates a full development programme
over an average 12 week term, held during the school term, with varying
lesson duration from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the needs of
the students.
All details will be on the enrolment form.
During the summer school holidays crash
courses are offered. These are 5 sessions over 5 days (excluding
weekends).
Please note however that crash courses are not part of the automatic
progression system.
To ensure stroke technique is maintained is our primary objective, the
standards for progression to the next class have been based on the A.S.A
National Plan for Teaching Swimming, and Challenge, Bronze, Silver, and
Gold personal survival awards.
ADULT COURSES
Adult courses are also run on a development basis over an average 12 week
term, the lesson duration is 60 minutes.
All details will be on the enrolment form.
ADULT AND CHILD LESSONS
(FOR CHILDREN AGED 3-5 YEARS)
These lessons are over an average 12 week term, duration for the lesson
would be 25 minutes.
All details will be on the enrolment form.
PRIVATE LESSONS
One to one with a qualified teacher is an excellent opportunity for the
very timid pupil to gain confidence, or just special one to one attention
on an area of stroke technique. These lessons are subject to availability,
and details would be arranged on an individual basis with the Swimming
Development Co-ordinator – Patsy Coleman.
ADULT EDUCATION
We also have a full A.S.A, RLSS and STA Education programme for you to
develop and qualify for teaching. If you are interested please phone the
Splash Academy and details of the courses you are interested
in will be forwarded to you when they are available.
NO SPECTATING
The pool operates a no spectating policy for 10 weeks of the 12 week term,
on week 6 and 12 spectating will be
possible. People are asked to take off their out-side shoes or wear shoe
covers, to ensure a clean poolside is maintained for the swimmers.
PARKING
Due to increased use of the Hinchingbrooke sports facilities and the Astroturf
re-opening, the site can be very busy. Please drive with great care and
park with consideration of all users.
Children can sometimes forget cars are not always able to see
them. Please take great care.
