Swim2u Instructors
Swim2u instructors are fully qualified
A.S.A. (Amateur Swimming Association) teachers
and R.L.S.S. (Royal Life Saving Society)
Lifeguards. In addition they are all C.R.B.
(Criminal Records Bureau) checked and fully
insured members of the I.o.S. (Institute of
Swimming).
Many of our instructors
are ex-competitive swimmers that have also
specialised in water-based instruction.
Our instructors use
practical demonstrations to motivate children,
whilst providing a caring, considerate
environment. They are committed to helping
pupils learn and develop by using an
enthusiastic and modern approach that makes
learning fun.
I believe that our
instructors are able to provide some of the best
instruction in the area, that's why they have
been handpicked as part of the Swim2u team.
