Ascot
Swim School is a friendly and caring
swimming school situated at the Licensed Victuallers
School, London Road, Ascot.
Our swimming lessons focus
on teaching skill development for beginners and improvers
through to competent swimmers. Our
average class size is 5 and the maximum is 8 swimmers. For
the very young swimmers our average class size is 3
swimmers. Ascot Swim School is an
Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) registered Swimming
School. We teach all four competitive strokes, together
with Diving within the framework of the new Revised
National Plan for Teaching of Swimming (NPTS). Assessments
are made midway through the term and ASA National Swim
Stage are awarded at the end of each term.
The Revised (Autumn 2007) NPTS is a framework for learn to
swim programmes, providing teachers with a clear and
consistent approach for the structure and delivery of
swimming lessons. All swimmers following the NPTS benefit
from a quality assured scheme. Introduced in 1998, the NPTS
is one of the most successful programmes ever introduced by
a sports governing body and has become the preferred
framework for the delivery of learn to swim lessons
throughout the UK.
The ASA is the English
National Governing Body for Swimming. It organises
competition throughout England, establishes the Laws of the
Sport and operates comprehensive certification and
education programmes for Teachers, Coaches and Officials as
well as its renowned Learn To Swim Awards scheme. The ASA
supports 1,600 affiliated swimming clubs through a
National/Regional/County structure.
Ascot Swim School has 10 level 2 ASA Teachers, 1 Advanced
ASA Teacher, 2 ASA Coaches, 1 British Triathletes Coach and
4 Level 1 Teachers.
