Pool Schools is a swimming school based in New Zealand that is dedicated to providing swimming lessons for individuals of all ages and abilities. They are passionate about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn to swim in a fun and safe environment.
Pool Schools offers a variety of classes to cater to different needs and preferences. They have parent and child classes for children aged 2–4 years, children's group lessons for those aged 4 and above, and adult lessons for non-swimmers to advanced level. The school also provides lessons for children with special needs and private lessons, depending on availability. Additionally, they offer holiday crash courses and ASA/Swim England courses for teacher training.
At Pool Schools, they believe that a good environment and an enjoyable swimming experience are key to effective learning. To ensure quality instruction, they limit the numbers in each lesson and all their swimming teachers hold ASA level 2 qualifications.
Testimonials from satisfied customers speak highly of the school's impact on their children's confidence and progress in swimming. The presence of teachers and assistants in the water is particularly noted for its positive influence.
Contacting the Pool Schools team is a simple process, although response time may vary due to teaching commitments. Existing swimmers are requested to quote their Swimmer's Unique Identification Number for quicker account retrieval. Forms are available on the website for both existing and new swimmers to make enquiries and request additional information.
Pool Schools operates at various venues across New Zealand, including Epsom College Surrey, Reigate Grammar Surrey, Dunottar School Reigate, Hazelwood School Oxted, Bancroft's School Woodford Green, and Slinfold Golf & Country Club West Sussex, among others. Each venue has its own information, pricing, and calendar available on the website for easy reference.
One of the venues, Barnett Wood Infant School, is described as a lovely and nurturing environment with a heated outdoor pool for swimming lessons. It is located in the popular town of Ashtead, making it an ideal location for a summer crash course. Holiday crash courses and short courses are available at this venue.
Booking swimming lessons at Pool Schools is a straightforward process. New swimmers are required to complete a form on the Contact Us page of the website to provide their information and indicate their availability. Assessments may be required for new swimmers.
