GROUP SESSIONS

Learning to swim in a group is, for the majority, the best way to become a proficient swimmer. Our sessions are split into 4 ability levels and each session normally comprises up to 4 groups of 8-10 children. In the early days, we teach in the pool with a ratio of one teacher for 2 children. Once children develop confidence and ability, we move them into groups which focus on different skills, so they end up being a capable and confident swimmer in the water. The programme is designed to ensure that individual needs are met as everyone develops at a different rate.

Group sessions operate on a Saturday morning between 10.00-12.30 and on a Wednesday afternoon between 16.00-17.30. These are for children aged four and a half years and above and are conducted under the watchful eye of Lead Teacher, Nan Lowden, and her team of ASA qualified teachers and helpers.

DISTANCE BADGES & EVENTS

Dinnaton Swimming Club work to the ASA National plan for teaching. Swimming badges are awarded as the children’s skills and confidence develop. Lessons operate throughout the year, closing only for the two weekends over Christmas and New Year, and at Easter and August Bank Holiday. During the year, there are opportunities to complete distance badges and compete in a mini Gala. 

JOINING?

Group sessions cost £12.95 per calendar month which is payable by monthly Direct Debit. The cost per swimmer is the same regardless of which group is attended.

Please enquire about lessons at McCaulay’s, Ivybridge, where staff will complete your Direct Debit mandate on behalf of Dinnaton Swimming Club along with your McCaulay’s membership. A one-off ASA registration fee will also be required each calendar year for insurance purposes.

To learn with Dinnaton Swimming Club, both the child and a parent/guardian must be a member with McCaulay’s Health Club. There are several membership options available and the staff can assist in choosing the best one.
