Swimming Crash Courses
An intensive crash course during the school holidays can give a child who's almost ready to move up to the next stage in their swimming journey, the push they need to progress. Practising every day without the weekly gap between lessons can help children learn the skills they need to move up to the next stage. Plus you can now book directly online giving you the flexibility and control.
Please read the information below before booking, to ensure you select the correct course. If you are unsure of the correct stage to select or have any other enquiries, please email hsv.swimminglessons@herts.ac.uk
- Our swimming crach courses are help in the HSV Swimming Pool, just minutes from Hatfield Centre, Welwyn Garden City and St Albans
School Holiday Swimming Crash Courses
Ducklings Swimming Crash Course
If your child is pre-school age (3.5-4 years old) and a complete newbie to the water, our Ducklings crash course could be the perfect way to introduce them to the water. It promotes increased independence with the emphasis on fun and gaining water confidence to help prepare them for our Ducklings Learn to Swim sessions and Stage 1 of the Learn to Swim Framework. With a guaranteed maximum ratio of four children to one teacher, this course is suitable for toddlers. Parents do not need to accompany the child in the water.

Beginners Stage 1 Swimming Crash Course
We take advantage of our moveable floor to hold our lessons in 0.7m pool depth, an ideal depth to introduce your younger ones to the water to gain confidence and begin to learn a potentially life saving skill. Our qualified teachers will follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme starting with Stage 1. Your child will benefit from a low ratio class with a maximum ratio of four children to one teacher. These lessons are ideal for those who take a fun approach to learning to swim and learning valuable water safety skills.

Suitable for swimmers likely to be on Stage 2 or 3 of the Swim England Pathway and able to swim 5-10m on their front and back. Because of the depth of the water, these classes would be most suitable for under 10 years old.
