Pool and Classes
St. John's School
Danbury
St. John's is a wonderfully Warm 6m x 12m Pool.
Bubbles Has Exclusive hire Monday to Thursday afterschool and Saturday Mornings.
We run Classes from 6months in Parent and Child right up to pre competitive level swimming.
We cater to ALL with SEN and Adult classes and private sessions available.
Facilities
We are blessed to have wonderful warm showers and ample changing for all.
We are also lucky enough to have poolside spectating and are happy to welcome siblings too.
Themes and Safety
At Bubbles Swimming we love the idea of learning through Play and fun.
We have themed weeks and different fun elements to all our lessons. Dinosaurs, Ducks, Sinkers and tunnels to name but a few.
We also feel a huge responsibility to teach the importance of water safety. We join the RLSS drowning prevention week and also supplement our lessons with Personal survival and roleplay for how and when to help in any situation.
Parent and Child
In these classes we build the foundations for swimming. We provide a secure environment to create a bond with parents in the water. Teaching the parents holds and moves allows free movement and exploration in the pool. We also Incorporate safety aspects into our lessons and free playtime to allow self exploration. We always keep in mind the different developmental stages of our swimmers which can influence their participation and enjoyment.
Little Swimmers
When first embarking onto an independent swimming path we offer a very soft approach as we know how hard this can be. We build on foundation skills and help swimmers to find their water balance and confidence in the pool.
Improvers and Advanced
We move our swimmers through different ability classes when they are ready, learning and improving those all important skills and strokes as they go.
Pre Competitive
Once our swimmers reach a certain ability we move them onto a coaching approach to swimming where we build stamina, perfect strokes and teach starts and turns including dives where the depth allows.
Adults
Lessons for all Abilities. Beginners looking to learn from scratch, those looking to improve their staima or stroke and training for those looking to take part in competitive swimming such as triathlons.
Private and 1-2-1
We also offer private 1-2-1 or 1-2-2 groups with a teacher and one or two swimmers who either need more focus, are looking to learn much faster or learning specific skills. for SEN children these classes can be a great option.
