More Activities
Overview
Our Aqua Activities are a progression on from Swim Skills 4 and Club Ready for those who do not wish to join our local club or are on their waiting list for Ren 96, but wish to continue with their water skills. These coach led sessions follow structured lesson plans aimed at those who wish to feel part of a club but have fun at the same time.
Participants must be a minimum of 8 years old* or be able to swim 50m on front and 25m on back as these classes will be in deep water at all times. (Parents of 6 and 7 year olds must stay in the building during activity.)
