As part of our plan to encourage a wider range of swimmers we are re-introducing swimming lessons.

Lessons will be held at the King Alfred Swimming Pool on Saturdays between 17.00 and 18.00.

A dedicated lane will be reserved for the lessons which will have a designated Swimming Coach.

Lessons will be held for 4 to 6 swimmers (numbers subject to ability).

We would require each person who wishes to join lessons to be able to swim 50m (2 lengths)

regardless of stroke, being comfortable out of your depth (Swimming in the deep end) and able to

tread water.

The aim of the lessons is;

• To provide individuals confidence in the water

• To understand and learn the keystrokes including Freestyle (Front Crawl), Breaststroke,

• Backstroke and Butterfly.

• To qualify for lessons and achieve promotion to the main club swimming and the ability to

• join the mid-week swimming sessions

The cost for lessons will be;

• Membership of Swim England for which the ASA swim fees must be paid which is currently

• £16.50 per annum

• Payment of the full membership direct debit which will be £51.45 per month in 2024.
