2010 General Schedule

Adult classes are held every Thursday evening at 7:00pm at Marley Head throughout the year. New members are always welcome. Contact Lesley if you would like to try this out.

Senior Group lessons are held at Totnes (for one hour starting at 6:00pm) .  This group meets on Saturdays except the last Saturday in any month  The Senior Group dates schedule is available on request.

Junior Group lessons are held at the same time and venue as the Senior Group.  Swimmers need to be able to swim approximately 25 metres, to know the basics of the four major strokes, and to be confident in deep water.

Early Improver Groups

These have a maximum of 4 pupils and are designed to lead swimmers from one-to-one lessons through to the requirements needed to join the main Junior one hour group at 6:00pm. There are two standards - Early Improver One is for those just leaving one-to-one lessons, and Early Improver Two is for those who are more proficient but who find the one hour session in the Junior group a bit too much. Because of the small number in each group, places are limited and a waiting list is in operation.

Summer School 2010

Our Summer School will be held for one-to-one lessons with one-to-two lessons where appropriate on each weekday throughout the school holidays. The first week will commence on Monday 26th July and the Summer School will end on Friday 27th August. Lessons will be on half hour appointments from 9.30am at the Marley Head Pool. One-hour lessons can be booked when requested.

There will be special adults only sessions on Wednesdays (depending on demand) from 12 noon throughout the holiday. Children will not be permitted at these sessions. Summer School is open to adults as well as children and will be for anyone whether or not they are registered with the School.

All pupils will be monitored throughout the summer and will be examined for progress awards as appropriate. Awards cost £2.00 each and parents and adult pupils will be asked if they wish to purchase them. Payment should be made (correct money please) in an envelope to the teacher, together with 75p towards post and packing if you need to have your award posted. Please label your envelope clearly with the name of the pupil and the award name (e.g. 10 metres). All awards gained, whether purchased or not, will be held in the pupil's progress records.

New Teacher Course

We will be holding a basic teachers' course in the New Year. This is designed to give an insight into teaching practices without a huge financial outlay. Candidates are encouraged, after our course, to continue with teacher training at any official A.S.A. Course which will give qualifications. Please telephone me if you would like more details of the course held within our School.
