Planning your programme

How much space is needed?

Our pool is 10m × 5m. The overall installation needs additional space for the structure, equipment, safe access and changing arrangements. Exact requirements are confirmed through a site review.

What about water and electricity?

We review your available supplies, access and drainage before agreeing the installation. The proposal confirms any site preparation and your school's responsibilities for water, power and heating costs.

What will it cost?

Request a proposal based on programme length, pupil numbers and your site. We will set out the delivery, installation and associated costs so you can compare the whole programme with your existing arrangements.

Who teaches the lessons?

Qualified swimming teachers and lifeguards deliver the programme. Staffing, supervision and operating arrangements are agreed with your school.

How is progress reported?

Initial and final assessments track swimming and water safety, including 25-metre swimming, effective strokes and safe self-rescue.
