Description: Rewlea Swimming and Little Ducklings offer a range of classes suitable for all ages.  The majority of their classes run at their own private pool in Ashburton but sessions are also available in Kingsteignton, Torquay and Exeter.   Little Ducklings classes are popular with the aim of starting baby swimming at an early age ( our youngest just 17 days old) so they are confident and enjoy being in water.  Classes support parents how best to teach babies swimming skills from a young age.  They are informative but also fun with songs and games appropriate to the age of the class.  We use word association for underwater swimming and safety skills and at the end of a term babies can be seen reaching for the wall.    Parent/Carer & Toddler Sessions are for those progressing on from baby swimming but also for those just starting.  Again these classes vary with an energetic structured class for those that are confident and keen and a quieter learning through play session for those that have no previous swimming experience.  It's important to find the right class that your child will enjoy so that they can progress at their own pace.   Pre-School swimming lessons are available most days and children at age 3 can move into lessons if they are confident in the water, can swim using buoyancy aids without adult support and can follow the teachers instructions in the lesson.  These sessions will focus on front paddle and back paddle and may introduce some basic breast stroke skills.   Group swimming are after school classes with a maximum of 6 children per group to ensure all pupils get the attention needed.  We have a range of classes from non-swimmers, beginners and improvers.  All swimming strokes and diving skills are taught to improvers and older children learn rescue and life-saving skills.   1:1's/2:1's give individual support and a more intensive lesson.  These are ideal for young non-swimmers, anyone with a fear or who is nervous in the water, for children who want to progress quickly or just to improve a particular stroke that they have struggled with in a group class.   We have an excellent team of staff, all either ASA or STA qualified but all with very different personalities and styles of teaching.  We believe it's important that you find the right teacher for your child so that they are happy in their lesson and progress well.   We follow the STA badge scheme which allows for children to work towards various skills and distance awards where they can receive a certificate and badget for when each level is completed.  These are a real incentive for children and recognition of the skills achieved.
