SWIM2U DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Swim2u's basic lesson principles are to provide lots of swimming, feedback and fundamentals, ending with 5 minutes of constructive play to improve water skills. We feel that stroke technique is more important than distance to ensure greater efficiency and stamina in the water, which then leads to the ability to undertake further distances with ease and control. We use the Amateur Swimming Associations (A.S.A.) National Plan for Teaching Swimming (N.P.T.S.). This covers a range of Awards that comprise of Distance, Water skills, Challenges and a compilation of all 3 that encourage stroke development. The Amateur Swimming Association (A.S.A.) is the National Governing Body for Swimming, Diving, Water Polo and Synchronized Swimming throughout England. Its main responsibility is to oversee the development of these sports from the very first introduction through to competition on the world stage. Pupils will be continually assessed during their lessons. However, formal assessments are undertaken prior to the Christmas, Easter and Summer school holidays. Pupils will be moved to the next level once all the criteria have been achieved in a comfortable and stress free manner. Inevitably, therefore, some pupils may move through the scheme at a faster rate than others. The A.S.A. Awards that we give the children the opportunity to undertake are: National Swim and Distance Awards (These awards can only be undertaken at Leeds Grammar School, due to the depth and dimensions of the pool.) (These awards can only be undertaken at Leeds Grammar School, due to the depth and dimensions of the pool.) All Awards are priced at £ 3.00 |
