Swim School Newsletter Splash Leisure Pool November 2014 What’s New? Need to ask the teacher a question? With this terms swimming lesson programme finishing at the beginning of December, there will be additional lessons the two weeks before the Christmas holidays. As the end of the term draws nearer you may have questions about your child’s progress. If so, please do not disturb the teachers while they are teaching. Leave your message with the receptionist and the teacher will get in contact with you when they are available. There will be intensive courses for Octopus 2/3. For Goldfish and above there will be Focus courses. The courses will focus on specific dynamics of stroke technique. This gives swimmers who are being challenged by a particular aspect of the stage or stroke an opportunity to work specifically on it. This is a great chance to have extra focused tuition. There will be a variety of other activities, such as water polo, life saving, swim fit and even an opportunity to try out ‘Sharks’ swimming club. The re-enrolment information that you will receive at the end of the term has changed. It will contain more information about next terms lessons and will provide a clearer picture of your child’s swimming lessons and be more informative. Breeze Learn & Swim Membership Great value membership for young swimmers All of these courses are available at fantastic prices! Includes: Speak to one of the team for more details. Coming Soon! As the pre-school lessons become more popular, the children entering the mainstream swimming lesson programme are very young. It is recognised that children of this age struggle to concentrate for an entire 30 minute lesson. To ensure the best possible lesson is offered from January 2015 the Octopus 2 lessons will be shortened to 20 minutes. To further help the quality of these lessons the numbers in the class will be a maximum of 6. This will enable the teachers to get much more out of each lesson. Here at Splash we are always trying to improve the service that is offered and welcome any comments or suggestions you may have.

Bookings for all the above courses will open on Monday 17th November. Octopus 2 & 3 Intensive Course This is a course of five sessions that will cover as much of the syllabus as possible. This is a great chance for anyone that almost passed the stage to cover the areas they found difficult, with the possibility of achieving their badge before Christmas. These courses cost £15.99 for the week. To give everyone the best chance to get the most out of the course numbers will be limited to six in each course, this gives the teacher more time to spend with each child. Focus Courses These are for Goldfish, Angelfish and Shark levels, they consist of three lessons a week. Each course will focus on one stroke and one specific area of that stroke. A great opportunity for anyone who is struggling with a particular part of a stroke too concentrate on that one area. If that one stroke or skill was holding your child back, they may find that with some intense practice they could still achieve a badge for Christmas. These courses are just £9.99 for the three lessons in the week and numbers are limited to six children for each course. This will make sure that the teacher has plenty of time to give everyone the attention they need to improve. Additional Activities There will be some different sessions too! This will give a chance to try something new. It will give them an idea of other aspects of swimming they may wish to pursue once they have completed our swimming lesson programme. Each week there will be a Water Polo course. There will be two sessions a week that will teach and progress skills needed to become a Water Polo player. Only £6.50 for the course. Why not see if swimming club would be of interest? You can book two sessions a week for only £6.50 and see what it would be like to join Bude’s finest swimming club, Bude Sharks. How about trying our Life Saving session for only £3.50 and start to learn skills that could help to save a life!!!!
