LATEST INFORMATION

Information will appear above regarding lessons affected by weather for example

Helen's Swimming School launched in 1989 and now has over 800 pupils. It has built a reputation based on technical emphasis and was awarded the Amateur Swimming Association's Swim 21 accreditation in recognition of the School's high standard of teaching and development.

The School offers a wide variety of lessons at 5 pools in Crowborough and Mayfield, from Adult & Baby classes, right through to Gold Challenge, Life Saving and a non-competitive club for older children.

At Helen's Swimming School childrens' lessons can start from 4 months old after inoculations. The aim is to instil a love of water and water based activities at an early stage of a baby's development and to build confidence in the water.

Pre-School lessons are for young children who are no longer reliant on their parent being in the water with them. However there are Assistants in the water to support the children.

After school lessons start from 4 years upwards. Again, there are Assistants in the water to help the non-swimmers and beginners. Lessons then progress from Beginners to Improvers, Intermediate and Advanced levels.

The main benefits of our swimming lessons are that children learn to swim in a fun, safe and structured way as well as learning about water safety and learning skills that could one day save their life.

All teachers and assistants are Amateur Swimming Association/STA qualified. All sessions have a qualified lifesaver and first aider on poolside. Staff have personal professional insurance. Teachers remain on poolside while Assistants accompany swimmers in the water as directed. There are a minimum of two members of staff in attendance at all times.

For full details of all the classes available, please see our Class Entry and Information sections.
