Swimming Lessons

Our aim is to help your child learn the skills of swimming by introducing a progressive swimming programme which will provide a constant challenge. Good quality teaching by our qualified staff will help your child reach the standard set by the Swimming Teachers Association

Teachers:

Wherever possible, we will aim to keep the same swimming teachers per lesson group throughout the year. However, in set circumstances there may be occasions where this is not possible. Pendle Leisure Trust would like to maintain that if this is the case, then your child’s progression will not be hindered. Any temporary swimming teachers will be notified of your child’s current stage of swimming, and therefore will ensure that their lessons continue as normal

Forewarning of medical issues:

Any medical problems concerning your child must be reported to your swimming teacher or at Reception prior to any swimming lessons taking place

Certification:

As part of Pendle Leisure Trust’s swimming courses, children are set clear objectives in order to measure their progression. Certificates and badges can be purchased from Reception - but only once your child has reached a designated standard

Payment:

Payments are due on the 8th and 9th week of the 10 week course – to ensure a space on the next course
Each child is entitled to two weeks holiday during the School Summer Holidays, Bank Holidays and over the Christmas period (when lessons will not take place). Notification of any absence must be passed on with written confirmation
No refunds will be given for any absence. Long term sickness will be looked at on a case -by-case basis

Safety:

Children under the age of eight must be accompanied in the water by someone aged 16 or over (unless receiving instruction from a swimming teacher)
Children under the age of eight will not be allowed into any of our facilities unless accompanied by someone aged 16 or over
Parents/guardians of children under the age of eight must not leave the building during the child's visit
