Active Swim Aims To:

• Maintain a high quality of Swimming Instruction
• Encourage skilful and competent stroke technique
• Teach water safety and to make pupils aware of the dangers of water
• Identify any child who has potential and guide them to the appropriate coaching environments

Our swim scheme is available for all ages and abilities and is based on the British Gas ASA Learn to Swim Programme. This is a nationally recognised syllabus for teaching children to swim and uses "fun and games to take children from the first splash to full competence in the pool and will ultimately help your child develop confidence in the water."

Tameside Sports Trust has a team of fully qualified teachers who have received additional training to update their skills and teaching methods. As a result we can provide a wide range of classes including Mums and Tots, The Wally Walrus Club, "Two in a Tub" lessons, Child Swimming Lessons, School Swimming Instruction, One 2 One lessons, Holiday Intensive Crash Courses, and Adult Lessons.

Tameside Sports Trust has a team of fully qualified teachers who receive regular training to ensure their skills are maintained at the highest possible standard. We offer a wide range of classes including:

• Ducklings (an adult and child session for 0-3 year old children)
• Little Ducks (independent swimming lessons for 3-4 year olds)
• The Wally Walrus Club (an adult and child session based at Hyde Leisure Pool)
• Children’s swimming lessons (suitable for children aged 4 plus)
• Holiday intensive crash courses

Swimming lesson availability varies slightly at each pool, however across the facilities, lessons are available seven days a week. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of swimming lessons, pools will have a waiting list in operation. Children must be 4 years old to access the swimming lessons.
