LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAMME

Please read through the different series below to understand how your swimmer will progress through our fun and engaging award scheme. We follow the STA International Learn to Swim Programme (ILSP) which is an incentive-based swimming skills scheme to provide encouragement to our swimmers. We assess our swimmers throughout their swim journey with us and certificates/badges are available to purchase once achieved. Alongside the different series below we give out distance certificates too.
