The Lakeland Swim School
We are a local and family-run private swim school situated at Embleton Spa Hotel, providing swimming lessons which follow the STA and RLSS Rookie Programme from the ages of 12 weeks (babies) to adults.
The Lakeland Swim School is a local family business who have an experienced team of instructors with a shared passion for helping swimmers make progress whilst developing good technique and a strong affinity with swimming.
Swimming is a life skill that everyone should possess and more so from a young age. The skill they will acquire today will give them the ability and confidence to enjoy the water for a lifetime.
The swim school is for all ages and abilities – We start at 3 months old through to adults. Our class sizes are small and ensures we deliver engaging and effective lessons aimed at individual ability and learning through fun.
All swimmers will learn front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly as well as developing aquatic skills like floating, diving, treading water, sculling, starts and turns and much more. Our Advanced and Rookie programme includes, lifesaving skills (both in water and on land), water polo and an introduction to artistic swimming.
The swim school is unique in that it accommodates children of many personal needs (including SEN) within a group lesson and runs bespoke lessons through structured and play orientated plans. There is always a qualified teacher and assistant to a class of no more than 5 children ensuring we can meet the diverse requirements of our swimmers.
Based on many years of experience our swim school has developed a teaching system that makes learning to swim easier, safer and excellent value for money. Our pupils learn at their pace and in their way due to our ability to adapt to the individual needs of our pupils, through engaging fun activities that gently introduce good technique and identifying strengths and areas for improvement in our swimmers.
With Swim England, RLSS, Birthlight and STA qualified teachers present in the water your child can learn in a relaxed safe environment; while learning a life skill. Your child will build water confidence, co-ordination, stamina, muscle and motor skills.
We are an STA Swim STAR School, so you can be assured that we work to the highest industry standards. To help you follow your children’s progression we use the STA Award Programme showing each of the skills as they develop them.
Swimming is for everyone and an essential life skill for which there should be no barriers. We live in/near the Lake District and not short of waterways, tarns, lakes, rivers and streams.
