Lisa Bousted, our company founder and a mother of four children, is passionate about everyone having the opportunity to learn to swim. Lisa set up the swimschool in 2000 teaching swimming to all ages and abilities. Over the years the swimschool has gone from strength to strength with her staff of over 20 teachers they have taught in excess of 10,000 children and adults to swim and regularly teach circa 1200 swimmers every week.
Babies can start swimming with us from birth as per NHS guidelines although we recommend after 6 weeks as a good starting point. Our babies will follow the STA Starfish Series wth support from a parent in the water. Around the age of three, they will then continue onto the STA STAnley Series, where the children are encouraged to swim without a parent in the water. Our teachers are also qualified in Aqua Sensory and this will form part of our lessons ensuring that we meet the needs of the 'whole' child.
Lessons for children are taught using the STA Awards Scheme. This is an all-inclusive programme which takes the non-swimmer from his or her first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water. The scheme emphasis is on learning through fun, developing their fundamental multi-aquatic skills. Teachers will teacher non-swimmers and early beginners in the water and class ratios are low with no more than eight in a class with an assistant who will also be in the water.
