Our Philosophy.

Our teaching style is one of encouragement and patience, understanding that each of our swimmers is an individual.  All our teachers are ASA qualified and bring a wealth of experience to our school. Good teaching is at the heart of Olympus.

Interaction with the children is important as all have varying levels of ability or confidence in the water.

Recognition is key too with encouragement for effort always rewarded. Apart from teaching your child a vital life saving skill, swimming is probably the very best physical sports activity your child can do. Here is just a brief summary of the benefits.

Lets get physical.

Swimming promotes physical development. and develops aerobic endurance and is the most beneficial form of cardiovascular exercise. 

Swimming enhances children’s natural flexibility and promotes proportional muscular development and develops superior coordination 

Swimming is the most injury free of all children's sports and is a sport that will bring children fitness and enjoyment for life. Is a great way to stay fit.

Its an excellent aerobic heart pumping exercise, which means that if you do it regularly and vigorously enough to raise your heartbeat to 70% of it's maximum for half an hour or more your cardiovascular system will gradually grow stronger and more efficient.

A vital life skill for us all.

Knowing how to swim can literally save your life. With fewer pools and a reduction in lessons being provided by schools it is of the upmost importance that we can get our children water confident and on their swimming journey from an early age.

Along with learning good swimming technique, we also teach personal survival from our youngest groups upwards.

We focus on life saving and equipping our swimmers with the vital safety behaviours to adopt during holidays near lakes and oceans to keep themselves, friends and family safe.
