We know that making the decision to book swimming lessons is very difficult for some. For that reason we always make sure you have ample opportunity to talk with us first.

We are so confident that even the most fearful will enjoy Learning to Swim With Us with us that we promise that if you find you don't want to continue after your first private swimming lesson, then all it will cost you is your time and travelling.

We know that first step towards booking swimming lessons is all important. For that reason we always make sure you have ample opportunity to talk with us first.

Please note that this website is Gay's at Swim With Us. Irene and Steve each have their own websites and we work as individuals. I will be quite happy to help you find the right place for your lessons. Irene has a lovely private pool for your individual use. Steve teaches in public pools and can also offer private swimming lessons. He was also trained as a Total Immersion Coach. Whoever you choose for your residential swimming lessons, you can be assured of a first class service for your one-to-one lessons, with your instructor in the water with you.

Entering the Water

Teaching the non-swimmer to enter the water safely is an important starting point. This can be achieved through a variety of methods and must be appropriate to the needs of the individual.

STEPPING DOWN THE LADDER

Teaching Points

• face the steps

• hold with both hands

• one step at a time

Considerations

• useful for the nervous

• time consuming if done with large numbers

SITTING ENTRY

Teaching Points

• both hands to one side

• turn to face the wall

• lower the body carefully

Butterfly

Butterfly is the most recent of the strokes and is second in relation to speed, to Front Crawl

Although the competitive Butterfly stroke is physically demanding, variations on the theme of Butterfly can be enjoyable activities that need not be too difficult. The potential to compete is developed gradually and learning the stroke should be fun. Babies often produce a dolphin type leg action without prompting.

Body Position

Key Points

• prone, face down with the crown of the head leading

• horizontal with an undulating, wave-like movement from head to toe

• shoulders are kept level

Swimming Lessons Wiltshire

Floating

Prone Float

swimming lessons - floating

This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position.

Key Points

• take a breath

• lean forward to face down position

• lift the legs

• make a star shape

• relax

• keep the head down
