We have 4 levels to our teaching scheme in the Cygnet Pool and a 5th level in a 25m pool :
- White, (2) Yellow, (3) Orange, (4) Red, (5) Green
The Green level is based at Bishopsgate School with a 45 minute class helping swimmers transition from our teaching pool into a 25m pool environment, working on their ability to tread water when in deeper water and improving their stamina.
Swimmers will then be automatically transferred into our Main Pool swimming programme where there are opportunities to follow either a competitive swimming pathway or swimming for fitness.
Swim Teaching Team for 2024-25
Staines Swimming Club believe that the best swim teachers are those that have swum competitively themselves. We actively encourage our swimmers to take the route into teaching and coaching and pass on their experience to our younger swimmers.
- Elaine overseas the Cygnet teachers and covers our group lessons and proviate lessons during the week.
- Harry is a Regional level swimmer and covers both our group lessons on Wednesdays and Saturdays as well as private lessons.
- Zoe is a County level swimmer and covers our group lessons on Sundays
- Holly is a Regional level open water swimmer and covers our group lessons on Saturdays and assists Elaine on Mondays.
- Mia is a Regional level swimmer and covers our group lessons on Saturdays as well as private lessons.
- Alfie is a Regional level swimmer and will cover our new Green level class on Sundays.
We also have several pool helpers supporting : Rhiannon, Raven, Ciaran, Alfie, Ema, Karolis, Sienna – these all come from either our senior swim programme or they used to swim for Staines competitively.
As a Club we pride ourselves on recruiting from within and providing our senior swimmers career opportunities to continue to grow and inspire the next generation of swimmers.
