Siddal Moor Students Swimming in Success

Date published: 17 December 2014


A group of specially selected Siddal Moor pupils recently took part in a pilot exercise run by the school to get students swimming.

Staff from the school alongside 'Swimtime' teachers held sessions at The Village Hotel in Bury over a number of weeks.

Some of the students that took part could not swim at the start of the sessions but were able to complete at least 25m unaided by the end of it.

The students enjoyed the experience so much that they will be returning to the pool for more sessions after the Christmas holidays.

Swimtime teaches thousands of swimming lessons every week in over 200 pools across the UK.

All independent swimming teachers working with Swimtime follow industry best practice guidelines.

They hold top teaching qualifications, are lifesavers, have insurance, and current Enhanced CRB Disclosures or equivalent.

The independent swimming teachers are all kind and fun and as highly qualified and motivated.
