SWIM WIRRAL
SWIM WIRRAL utilises the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS)
- The national syllabus produced by the ASA to assist and support the delivery of swimming lessons.
The ‘swimmer pathway’ provides opportunity and variety for swimmers, as well as providing a smooth, progressive structure to take them through the stages. SWIM WIRRAL develops the core range of skills required to be confident, competent and safe in the water.
If you are looking for a program designed for the non-swimmer, beginner or improver to progress from the first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water we recommend you try the SWIM WIRRAL programme based at one of the following pools:
