Swim Timetable – May
Swimming Lessons – Folkestone Swim Academy
The journey through the Swim Academy is about achieving set outcomes at each stage and progressing through the stages, building confidence, learning new techniques, and reaching your goals.
Courses start from Baby and Parent, giving both the confidence to feel at home in the water.
Children move through the Academy starting with basic movement skills, learning safe practice, and refining techniques.
Once your journey has started, you will automatically be reserved a space on the next stage, unless you decide to leave.
Each block is eight weeks and you will be given your ‘outcome’ certificate by the end of that block to indicate where your journey takes you next – then – simply go to the registration desk in reception to confirm and pay for the next stage of the Academy.
What are the stages?
The Academy starts with Ducklings, levels 1-4. These Levels are for Parent/Adult with a child aged 0-4 years.
From 4+years, children move through Swimming Stages 1-7.
Adult Beginners can learn too – starting in the Adult Non-swimmer stage, building water confidence, learning skills, and moving on to the Adult Improvers where techniques are practiced and improved – These stages are for anyone over 18 years, who has missed out on the opportunity to feel confident in the water from childhood, or who wants to improve.
How does my Journey start?
Once you have made the decision for your child – or yourself – to start swimming lessons, call our reception on 01303 850222 or visit our centre to register.
We will take some basic information about you and your child – name – contact details – swimming experience to date – and age (in the case of a child) and in most cases, will be able to book you on to the next available space.
If you have any questions, or there needs to be more information in order to start your journey, we will take your information and our Pool Manager will call you back.
We will ask for payment with your initial registration and you may register at any time.
Note that courses run in blocks of 8 weeks, giving your child the best possible chance of progressing.
| Course | Cost per 8 weeks |
|---|---|
| Ducklings | £42 |
| Stages 1-7 | £54 |
| Adult Beginners | £54 |
| Adult Improvers | £54 |
