Active Blackpool Learn 2 swim school stages 1 to 7
Is your child ready to dive into swimming lessons? The Swim England Learn to Swim Framework (Learn to Swim Stages 1 to 7) is part of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme. The all inclusive programme which takes the non-swimmer from his or her first splash to developing confidence and competence in the water.
Stages 1 to 7 are suitable for school-age children with no previous swimming experience. If your child has had swimming lessons before, they may join Active Blackpool Learn 2 Swim School at a higher stage. Babies and children under 5 will love our Discovery and Duckling programme.

Stage 3
If your child can swim five metres on their front and back unaided, then they’ll need to enrol in our Stage 3 lessons. Here, they’ll be taught towards the end goal of being able to swim unaided for 10 m on both their front and back. They’ll be supported on this journey by being introduced to aquatic breathing and different types of aquatic mobility.

Once your child can swim 50 m on their front and back, then it’s time they enrol in the fifth stage of our learn-to-swim programme. This stage will begin to develop your child’s stroke technique to a higher standard over longer distances whilst incorporating water safety techniques, making them even more confident and safe in and around the water.
