SWIMMING LESSONS:-
 
Moray Leisure Centre aims to ensure confidence in the water as well as learning what is, essentially, a vital life skill. 
 
Our aim for all children participating in our lessons is for them to enjoy the water and realise the fun that can be had in a safe environment by building confidence in their own ability.  Throughout all levels children are led through a progressive, multi-phased programme to learn the building blocks of swimming.
 
•    Our Starfish Programme invites Pre-school children (6 months – 3.8 years) to get used to the water and introduce aqua skills with a parent in the water to support them.
 
•    Our popular main stream lessons are available mornings (from 3.8 years of age), afternoons and weekends (from 4 years).  We begin with the basics and run through all the strokes.  Each group concentrates on one stroke, allowing children to develop their swimming quickly and easily.
 
•    Advanced skills classes are available for children who have learned all the swim strokes and want to have more fun!
 
•    Stroke improver – develops endurance and offers a pathway to join a Swimming Club
 
•    Personal Survival – water safety education, allowing a person to be safe in water
 
•    Junior Lifesaving – lifesaving skills, basic first aid, teamwork and fun
 
•    Snorkel & Mask – 3 levels available which helps children to be safe and have fun at a Pool or while away on holiday
 
•    Diving – safe foundation practices for diving

Assessments are continual throughout the lesson block, with final assessments n the Main and Learner Pool during the final week of block.
