Charter.

Olympus School of Swimming Charter

"To teach and promote swimming as both a vital life skill to non swimmers and to develop   existing swimmer technique and fitness as far as is possible. We aim to do this within a club structure that respects all swimmers, is friendly, safe and one which operates within guidelines set out by the regulatory bodies"

It's our aim to make our children's weekly swimming experience as enjoyable as possible however, the water can be a dangerous place if safety rules are not respected and followed. Pupil safety is always our primary concern. This is the main reason for our policy of maintaining low class sizes and high teacher/pupil ratios.
