Junior Section

Our Aims

Teaching swimmers

At Hillingdon Swimming Club Junior Section we have classes that cater for a wide range of ages (4-12) and abilities from beginner level through to advance. Through our teaching plan we aim to develop children into potential club swimmers by concentrating on the four swimming strokes with the emphasis on good technique at all stages.

Our class sizes are 6 or 7 children to a class teacher for our 30 minute beginner and improver classes. Beginners classes are in the small pool and are supported by helpers who work in the water to support the children, under the instruction of the class teacher. Our helpers have had training and achieved the Swim England Young Aquatic Helpers qualification. Group size increases for our 1 hour advanced classes.

Our staff of teachers and helpers is primarily made up of current/former competitive swimmers of the club. We take pride in developing the older swimmers in our club into swimming teachers and we train, develop and mentor them within our Junior Section.

All our teachers are Swim England qualified, DBS checked and have undergone safeguarding training.
