Swimming Lessons & Swim Academy

From children to adults, beginner to competitive swimmer, Fitness 4 U can provide the swimming class for you. Children follow the Swim England certificate ladder with Fitness 4 U bespoke certificates awarded in between. This guarantees that your child will receive a certificate of some description whether they attain the next stage or not. Introduced in 2006, the top children are invited to join the swim academy which is a transfer over from the 'learn to swim' programme onto an introduction to competitive swimming programme. Here the children still work on technique, but a large part of the classes are stamina based and race based to ascertain which children may have the promise of making it further in the competitive swimming world.

Parent & Baby/Toddler Swimming Classes

For children aged 0-3 years

Parent and Baby classes are fun and friendly, aimed at building water confidence and skills through nursery rhymes and play in the water. The advantages of learning through the parent and baby class is that the basic swimming skills are learnt before any fear of water can develop. With the emphasis on fun, the children learn that water and swimming is fun from a very early age. By attending the parent and baby class, the children get used to the swimming environment with the comfort of having their parent in the water with them. By the time they move onto the preschool lessons, they are ready to move on without their parents. It is very noticeable that the children who have attended the parent and baby classes are much more advanced than those who start at a later age.

Swim School

For children 3 years upward.

For those children who have been through the Parent and Baby/Toddler course there is a natural progression into the mainstream Swim School. Once they reach their 3rd birthday they can move up into the preschool lessons without their parents. With their inbuilt confidence and new found freedom they are able to further investigate the wonders of water, and go from strength to strength. All lessons in the swim school are designed to be fun while teaching correct techniques and skills. Nervous swimmers, and those with specific needs will all benefit from the expert teaching in the swim school. Children aged 3 and up are warmly welcomed into our swim school, subject to space availability. Each child is placed in a lesson that matches their swimming experience and ability, ensuring they receive the right level of support and challenge. While every swimmer is treated as an individual, they also enjoy the benefits of learning in a fun, social group setting. One-to-one and one-to-two lessons are available from 3 years upwards. These lessons are more intense, so are kept to a 20 minute duration. However, 30/40 minute lessons are available. The advantage of having a one to one lesson is that the lesson can be geared around the child, to work on their weaknesses, so they become a balanced swimmer.
