With a focus on quality, combined with our friendly atmosphere and competitive prices, children can learn to swim and gain confidence whilst having fun.
Competition
- The Club Hub is for those swimmers who would like to train for competition beyond Stage 10.
- These sessions are taken by a Swim England Level 2 or above qualified coach, with a swimming club background.
- Training will move from ‘learn to swim’ to ‘train to win’ with the focus on: precision technique and skill work, introduction to competition rules, and building race speed and stamina.
- Swimmers can take part in any or all three of the sessions provided each week (3x 1 hour sessions available).
- The cost of all of our group lessons is £75 (10 weeks), so two sessions per week would be £150 and three £225.
- We are partnered with Orpington Ojays Swimming Club to provide a pathway to competitive level swimming for every ELSA swimmer.
