The Splash Academy holds lessons on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

STOP PRESS::STOP PRESS::
As from January 2008 we will be introducing a Friday afternoon session from 1.30pm – 2pm.
This will comprise of an Adult and Child session and Duckling classes.
As these will be held during the school day Parents/Carers will need to wait in the Power League while their children are swimming. This enables us to adhere to Stanground College’s Security Policy.
If you are interested in attending this session please talk to Julie.

The Rookie sessions on a Wednesday night are being suspended for a couple of terms. Instead we will be introducing a Synchronised Swimming Session from 7.15pm – 8.15pm. Children will need to be able to swim at least 400m efficiently to be able to participate in this.

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 varies to meet the needs of the group – 45 minutes to 60 minutes.
All details will be on the enrolment form.

ADULT AND CHILD SESSION, AND DUCKLINGS LESSONS
(FOR CHILDREN AGED 3-5 YEARS)
These lessons are over an average 12 week term, duration for the lesson would be 25 minutes.

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 – Julie Djerfi.

ADULT EDUCATION
We also have a full A.S.A 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.

SWIMMING HATS
It is compulsory for all children in the Junior Development and Advanced lessons to wear swimming hats. This is part of the pool policy, and if a child arrives for their swimming lesson without a hat we will have spare hats to put on to ensure we adhere to the pool policy. Adults and babies are not required to wear swimming hats.
