Since having opened in 2022, our Little Pod has grown to well over a hundred and thirty, of varying abilities and in 1:1 and 2:1 private lessons. We have a team of 6 swimming teachers and continue to grow, whilst offering high quality swimming lessons. We are spending time training instructors so they understand the value of Danielle's way and our own swim scheme.
We have kept our ethos and values the same; to deliver high quality lessons to children, so that they can enjoy learning to swim and the benefits that swimming brings. We work at the child's pace, nurturing them and providing support and direction. We teach ALL our lessons from within the water, which allows close contact between teachers and swimmers and enables the best possible teaching style, particularly helping those swimmers who may be young, nervous or lack confidence in the water.
The Swim England and ASA guidance is that classes shall be taught on a ratio of 20:1, with younger swimmers and those not yet able to swim alone to be at a ratio of 12:1.
We only deliver private lessons of either 2:1 or 1:1 lessons. This in turn means more focussed time for each child with their teacher. We care about the swimmers development on a personal level, and are always happy to take the time to discuss progress.
Our lessons are priced competitively, we may be slightly more expensive than other swim schools in the area as we hire the pool space via a third party, although our smaller ratios and style of teaching from the water more than makes up for this. Our reviews from parents of current swimmers speak for themselves, and we value quality over quantity.
We encourage development and swimming ability, and allow those that may have less confidence to flourish.
