Ready to Swim Programme
Traditional swimming strokes
Available for children aged + 3,5 years old
The “Ready to Swim” programme focuses on developing the swimmer’s technique, speed and stamina. We work on improving fitness through a series of fun drills and exercises, helping each swimmer to reach their full swimming potential! Swimmers will learn the 4 principle swimming strokes: Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly.
Lessons are delivered 1:1, just your child in the water with the instructor, or 2:1, two children with the instructor.
Lessons available as 10 (1:1 only), 20, or 30 minutes sessions.

Silvia & Miguel,
Words cannot express my gratitude to the both of you for the excellent work you have done for Noah.
He changed from a boy who hated water on his face and eyes to one who can swim powerfully across the pool, with different techniques in his repertoire and with confidence too.
Thank you so much for your patience and firmness.

ISA,
This programme is a very valuable service to have, especially for children of special needs that can not take part in mainstream swimming classes. The level of immersion works really well in combination with the care and sensitivity they have for all the children. This method of teaching shows that anyone can learn to swim, no matter what age or ability!

We are absolutely thrilled with JJ's progress with ISA!
JJ had done a lot of the programme while in Australia but we couldn't find a good swimming school in the UK. So it had been 2 years since his last lesson when he started with ISA. He was very scared of water at the beginning and he used to cling to his instructor... Seeing him, after just one term, floating, swimming and looking forwards to coming to swimming lessons is remarkable! Thank you!

To the ISA team,
William and Finn were camping with their dad in Cornwall last weekend. Chris just texted to say that William was climbing on some rocks by the water, slipped and accidentally, he fell into the water. Immediately rolled onto his back, starfish! then, onto his front and kicked to the shore. He is ok.
What would we do without ISA?

We have been with ISA over a year now and cannot praise the teachers enough!
Our 2 boys have had lessons with all four different teachers who have all been equally caring and firm when required. The technique itself is also very unique with the emphasis on floating early on which gives parents the peace of mind around pools on holidays. The boys now love coming back for lessons and are very comfortable in the water.

We are very happy!
It is always easy to speak to the team with questions, concerns or suggestions and we always get a quick and suitable response...! I was very impressed watching the instructor in-house training to understand more details about your approach.
