We have been operating since 2009 and in that time we are proud to have taught thousands of people to swim.
Neil Bailey Swimming is a business with family values, which has been the inspiration for our approach to teaching swimming – “Teaching people to swim as if they were members of our own family”.
Using our brilliant team of teachers, we teach both in and out of the water (depending on the ability of the swimmer and the pool).
When in the water we support and encourage the swimmers to become independent. When out of the water our teachers can pick up on small corrections to help improve the swimmers stroke. All our teaching methods helps to boost confidence and encourage the swimmers to push themselves.
During our lessons, the teachers will often break down and re-build the strokes to correct technique. As they do this, they will be observing the swimmers to assess their body position, leg kick, arm movement and breathing technique. This process can be repeated with all the stroke again and again until we have built up a strong understanding of how to swim well, stay safe in the water and have fun!
Our inclusive lessons mean that everyone can achieve in the pool-we don’t hold anyone back as we believe that skills that are hard today, might be performed with ease once other skills have been established. It is less about ticking boxes by the end of term and more about trying hard each week and progression at each individuals own pace. This is why we continuously monitor progress through our lead teachers on poolside and make group changes accordingly.
Our amazing team of teachers have a diverse range of experience, that helps us provide a variety of styles and solutions when it come to finding what works best for our swimmers. We are constantly working to improve our offerings, as we know that learning to swim is one of the most important lessons in life and is something that should be a fun and positive experience for all!
We believe that everyone learns best in a comfortable and secure environment, which is why we only use pools that are safe, warm and suited to the abilities of those we are teaching.
