Courses available:
- ADULT BEGINNER LESSONS, WEDNESDAY 12:00PM
Here at Planet Swim we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to swim whatever their age. Our adult beginner group lessons focus on addressing the underlying issues that may have prevented someone from taking the plunge and learning to swim. We will teach you how to float in the water, we do not use floatation aids, instead we equip you with the skills and confidence of your own buoyancy. Floats will be introduced at a later date to develop stroke technique. We will teach you the breathing techniques to help you relax. At the time of these lessons there will be no spectators or children in the pool to give privacy during the sessions. Our coaches will be in the water with you during each lesson.
- ADULT IMPROVER LESSONS, WEDNESDAY 12:00PM
Planet Swim adult improver sessions are ideal for adults wishing to learn or improve the front crawl technique or develop other strokes. In our experience it is extremely common for adults to be able to only swim a few strokes or a length of front crawl before getting breathless and exhausted. In these sessions we will teach you correct body position, breathing techniques that suit you and improve your overall stamina whilst focusing on technique.
- ADULT ADVANCED TRAINING SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY 12:00PM
Planet Swim adult advanced training sessions will run alongside our improver lessons. Fitness will be our focus whilst still ensuring that all swimmers use correct technique and have the opportunity to improve skills if necessary. All strokes will be included in these sessions, however if there is a particular stroke you are unable to swim either due to injury or lack of skills these can be modified to suit you.
- PRIVATE 1:1 SESSIONS, WEDNESDAYS 11:30AM & 12:30PM
- PRIVATE 1:1 SESSIONS, TUESDAYS 3:00PM & 3:30PM
Planet Swim coaches offer private coaching sessions to address your particular needs. Each session is half an hour of coaching followed by an optional half an hour of individual practise in a private lane. This is the perfect session for improving technique and stamina. Also available for beginners. We offer 10% off gift vouchers for this service, the gift of swimming lasts a lifetime!
