SWIMMING

Fun Swims
Swimming at camp is a summer favourite! The 5-6's at Mini Minors and the 7-13's at XUK will have at least two fun swim sessions during each week over summer.

Safety is paramount. Every swim session has at least one duty lifeguard (dpending on the group size). We also ensure that there are other staff present to help the lifeguards concentrate on their main job - avoiding any dangerous incident in the pool.

For the fun swims the 5-6's at Minors all wear armbands. This means we can get all children into the pool quickly in the safest way possible. They will also be playing organised games in the pool so this means no-one is disadvantaged.

The 7-13's T XUK all take a quick swim test before each session to make sure assistance is provided for those who are not confident in the water.

Swimming Lessons During Camp
During the summer holidays we offer the opportunity for al children of al age groups to have swimming lessons in small groups with others of a similar standard. These include a half hour lesson every day in the Beginners, Intermediates or Advanced group. We have very experienced swim teachers who will help your child develop their confidence and style in the water.

Children attending swimming lessons will be collected from their group at camp, taken to their lesson and back to their group when they’ve finished.

Please book this option early as there are few places and high demand.
