Lichfield Dolphins Swim School

​First and foremost, we are a Swim England registered swim school. Swim England is the UK's governing body for swimming and has formulated a framework to ensure that the best teaching practices are followed. All of our teachers are qualified to teach these practices. Without any doubt, it is the best way to teach children to swim and most schools will teach to this framework. Each child will complete a set of skills before moving on to the next course. It really does make perfect sense and children will progress more quickly as they will be fully equipped to go to the next stage. It is impossible to say how long each child will be in each stage as they are all so very different. There are may factors to take into account such as natural ability, practice outside of school, time of day (tiredness) and of course, the want to get into the water and many other factors besides. All of our teachers are fully qualified Swim England instructors. ​Swim England is the UK's governing body for swimming. In the beginner and intermediate level classes we employ assistants in the water, most who are experienced swimmers themselves. This helps to reinforce lesson outcomes and also one-to-one help if a child needs it.
