Here at Mansfield Swimming Club we welcome swimmers from the age of 5 years who are able to enter the water on their own. All our swimming sessions are supervised by qualified teaching staff who ooooze enthusiasm and talent.

We provide an ideal environment for your child to first gain water confidence and subsequently to develop excellent swimming techniques.

Every parent wants their child to swim for various reasons, the main one being that they want their child to be able to get out of trouble if they find themselves in the water. So, our aim is to provide swimmers with the ability to be able to do just that, but if we can make them Olympic champions at the same time then that’s a bonus!

If you would like to visit us please email with your name and brief details of the swimmer including age and previous experience (even if that is none!) and we will get back to you with an appropriate session to come to.

The sessions are:

The Little Pool sessions are split into two ability levels:-

Group Descriptions

Dolphins - This session is aimed at swimmers who are working towards their first 5m swimming certificate. The lessons will consist of basic swimming techniques, water skills and water confidence and most importantly – LOTS OF FUN!! To become a Shark, swimmers will be able to confidently perform basic floatation techniques and be able to demonstrate recognisable strokes with their faces in the water.

Sharks – This is for our very grown up Little Pool Swimmers who have now passed their 5m swimming certificate and are heading towards their Olympic dream, well their 10m anyway! As a follow on from the Dolphins, lots of emphasis is placed on water skills and basic technique. To progress into the Big Pool swimmers are expected to posses a basic knowledge of all four strokes, which are front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly.

Whales - Once swimmers have achieved their 10m swimming certificate and have learned the basics, they will progress into the widths sessions in THE BIG POOL! Your swimming coach will keep you informed throughout of your child’s progress and will tell you when your child is ready to move up a level. There are three different levels in the widths class. When your teacher has finally moved you through all the sessions you should have a good knowledge of all the turns and starts, be able to show good technique on all four strokes, and be able to skull. When your coach thinks you are ready to move on he/she will assess you and inform you of your new lengths session.
