Despite the rest of her group making great progress during her absence she has returned as keen as ever and is swimming brilliantly. Emma is always smiling and loves her lessons and is a real pleasure to teach! Keep up the great work Emma 😊!

Drowning Prevention Week has flown by! Well done to all our incredible swimmers and a huge thank you to the for their amazing resources to help us deliver these essential lessons.

Parents if you haven't already please give them a follow and show your kids the videos to help enforce what their teachers have been teaching this week.

Saturday parents we apologise if you were in the 'splash zone' for the above demonstration of what now to do when performing a reach rescue. Vikki is too strong for her own good (poor Nick)!

We will leave you with a couple of our favourite answers from the week:

"Who might you see at the beach wearing Yellow and Red?" "French People?"

"Who do you call if you see somebody in trouble in the water?" "GHOST BUSTERS!"
