West Buckland Swimming Lessons

Aquarius Swim School, a swimming club in Barnstaple, is excited to promote a local swimming event for interested players. So, let's dive right in!

The event will be held at West Buckland Swimming Lessons, located in the stunning grounds of West Buckland School. This school has the honour of being attended by Olympic and World Champion, Jonathon Edwards. Talk about some prestigious company!

The pool itself is fantastic, measuring 25m long with four lanes. And don't worry about getting chilly, because the water is heated to a comfortable 31 degrees. Plus, the pool has a gradual increase in depth from 0.9m to 1.8m, with steps at both ends for safe entry. Safety first!

Spectators will have their own designated seating area, providing a great view of the action from a safe distance of about 3m away from the pool. And if you need to freshen up, don't worry, there are changing rooms, baby benches, toilets, and showers available for your convenience.

Now, let's talk about the classes themselves. At West Buckland Swimming Lessons, they follow the STA Award Scheme, a comprehensive program that focuses on the fundamentals of aquatics. This means that participants not only get to improve their swimming skills but can also be tested for other awards like personal survival, diving, and various badges.

The instructors at West Buckland Swimming Lessons are not only STA qualified but also experienced in teaching all age groups and abilities. From babies to adults, and even those with disabilities, everyone is welcome. And you can trust that safety is a top priority, as all staff members have the necessary rescue qualifications. We've got you covered!

To make sure everyone is on the same page, parents, and adults have access to a handy Parent Portal. This portal facilitates effective communication with the teachers and administrators, so you can stay informed and in touch.

Classes are organised in 12-week terms that coincide with school term times. But if you're looking for a more intensive option, crash courses over three consecutive days are offered during the Easter and Summer holidays. Talk about a quick swim!

For our littlest swimmers, we have adult and child classes that cater to babies and toddlers under 3 years old. In these classes, one adult is required to be in the water each week, providing that extra sense of security. Children aged 3 to 5 are grouped into Pre-School classes, where an adult can provide extra support if needed. And once children turn 5, they're grouped based on their abilities. We've got classes for all levels!

We care about hygiene too! All non-potty trained children are required to use the Double Nappy system. Safety and cleanliness go hand in hand.

Now, let's talk about the cost. Each course is priced at £96.00, with a fantastic 10% discount for siblings. Payment can be made in full or through monthly instalments via direct debit. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you.
