Lessons for 4-17 Years

Suitable for children aged 4-17 years to enter lessons unaccompanied. The initial starting point is NPTS stage 1. If a child wishes to join at a higher stage then an ability assessment will be required to ensure they are placed in the most appropriate class, please join our waiting list via the button on the left-hand side.

Aquaterra Leisure follows all stages and all disciplines of the NPTS. Please note not all disciplines at stages 8 -10 are available at all centres throughout the year. NPTS stages 8 - 10 will include elements of diving, water polo, synchro and rookie lifeguard. Once stage 10 has been completed swimmers are ideally positioned to move into a club environment. Aquaterra Leisure works closely with the local Swim21 clubs.

Instructors follow all recommendations from the ASA and as such, where possible teach from poolside - enabling better observation of the class and ensuring all children receive the same level of interaction. Any swimmer requiring adult support in the water should attend a Ducklings class.
