2023 Splash 'n' Swim Update
- We are introducing a bespoke course management system called ‘Go Learn’
- Moving to ‘Go Learn’ will both enhance the way that we deliver our swim program & how we communicate progress of each child.
- When you register your child for Splash N Swim, you will be sent a ‘Go Learn’ Home Portal link
- Once your child is registered, you can check progress & see teacher feedback for your child/children.
- We will now be operating on a continuum, so children can be progressed at any time during the programme.
- Places in the program can only be guaranteed with ‘top ups’.
- ‘Top Up’ payments can be made via the online portal by purchasing packs of 10 lessons
- A block of ten lessons is £65 for members and £95 for non-members
The Queen's Sport Splash 'n' Swim Programme provides professional swimming lessons for babies, children and young people. Splash 'n' Swim specialises in stroke efficiency, water confidence and learning through fun.
We offer an excellent professional development pathway for participants to progress from Waterbabies to our Barracudas or Rookie Lifeguard courses. Participants who develop through the programme will also have the opportunity to be invited to the Queen’s Swim Squad.
Waterbabies is perfect exercise for little ones, since water allows their muscles to move freely and they’re supported by its buoyancy. The class incorporate lots of bonding, fun and socialising.
The Duckling Awards are designed to help children explore and enjoy the fun of learning to swim. They can help you shape your swimming lessons by giving set outcomes and provide a foundation level for swimming. Ages 3-4.
Adult support is required in both Waterbabies and Ducklings.
