Learning to swim is an essential life skill, especially living in a beautiful coastal town like Exmouth. Not only does being able to swim give you the ability to swim out of danger and know what to do if someone else needs help in the water, but it is also a great way to improve health, social skills & confidence.
Our 'Learn to Swim' (LTS) programme takes a non-swimmer from blowing their first bubbles, all the way to developing confidence and competence in the water across the four strokes.
Many of our swimmers then go on to join our Junior squad so that they can further their competitive swimming skills in a club environment, participating in local individual and team galas.
We take swimmers from aged four and above and follow the Swim England Framework, teaching Stages 1-10 in classes of up to 8 swimmers, awarding certificates and badges as they progress.
All our classes are held between 5pm and 7pm on Saturday evenings and, with the exception of Bank Holidays and two weeks in August, we operate all year round.
For more details about what each of the stages involve, please visit the Swim England website: www.swimming.org/learntoswim/swim-england-learn-to-swim-framework/

Why learn to swim with Exmouth Swimming Club?
Our LTS programme is divided into ability stages that has been designed to cover the core elements of fundamental movement skills and swimming stroke development in line with Sport England's movement literacy guidelines. There is no maximum amount of time any swimmer can spend in each stage, so they can progress when they are ready.
We run a continual assessment of learners to monitor their progress.
