Learn to Swim

<p>We pride ourselves on being a great company to work for. We recognise the importance of diversity, inclusion and equality. We offer flexible working hours to suit different ages and lifestyles and we treat all our talented swim teachers with the respect they deserve.</p><p>But we would say that, wouldn’t we?</p><p>For a more objective opinion, you need to hear from the people who actually work with us. Nobody knows our strengths and weaknesses better than they do, and here are the views of three of the teachers who know Swimtime inside-out.</p><h2><strong>Flexible working hours</strong></h2><p>Doug’s involvement with Swimtime began in 2010 when he was made redundant from the accountancy practice that he had been with for over fourteen years.</p>

<p>Julie has another opinion to share: “In my opinion Swimtime has to be the best company I have ever taught for, with fantastic training and development opportunities, cutting-edge technology for keeping track of swimmer progress and attendance, a vast network of people to call on for support and guidance and not to mention all of my amazing swimmers and parents!”</p><h2><strong>Cutting-edge technology</strong></h2><p>We’re pleased Julie mentioned our “cutting-edge technology” as we believe that’s something that really sets us apart. Using the multi award-winning FranScape platform, we use artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver an all-round customer experience that includes easy booking and payment. It also helps our teachers stay in control with all the information they need at their fingertips 24/7.</p><p>Joel is one of those teachers who fully utilises the opportunity to take advantage of flexible working hours, combining his role at Swimtime with a full-time job: “Swim teaching has always been and continues to be a big passion of mine. Seeing swimmers reach their full potential and progress week on week has seen me continue to teach after finishing uni and landing a full-time job as a Software Developer.”</p><h2><strong>Raising standards in customer care</strong></h2><p>As we couldn’t sum things up any better ourselves, we’d like to leave the final words with Joel: “As an award-winning company, Swimtime is always set on raising standards in customer care through valuing and acting on customer feedback and investing in further developing its staff. We, all of the Swimming teachers, are regularly invited to CPD sessions to improve our skills and service.”</p><p><strong>If you’d like to find out more about becoming a teacher with the largest independent swim school in the UK, give our friendly team a call on </strong><a href="tel:01612403501"><strong>0161 240 3501</strong></a><strong> and they’ll be delighted to answer all your questions.</strong></p>

<h3><strong>What is Water Safety?</strong></h3><p>Water Safety is the procedures and precautions associated with safety in and round bodies of water taught by Swimtime from an early age.</p><h3><strong>Safety with Swimtime</strong></h3><p>Swimtime teach children the essential aquatic skills they need to be confident, competent and safe in the water.&nbsp;Children can take swimming lessons from the age of four years, but swimming programs are available for younger children and babies. The emphasis is on building confidence and encouraging the child to enjoy water. Water safety skills make up part of the tuition. &nbsp;<br><br>Swimtime believe that teaching water safety from a young age is so important because it is key for children to understand the dangers of the water and how to behave in the water. We believe swimming is a non-negotiable life skill that parents should look to acquire for their children as soon as possible. Whilst a range of extra-curricular skills are important for children to develop as rounded individuals, none are quite as vital and fundamental as learning to swim. Swimming has always been a great recreational activity and in order for children to enjoy the environment they must feel safe.<br>&nbsp;<br>Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Teaching children how to spot and avoid danger in the water remains a priority. Swimtime not only teach children the water safety code for a warm indoor pool but provide the children with life skills to stay away from danger when swimming in cold waters.</p><h3><strong>Learning more about Water Safety</strong></h3><p>An event will take place on Friday 23rdAugust at Explore Learning in Northampton for members. You can participate in various activities and learn about beach, pool and river safety. This event will be run by Fiona Marshall, our new franchise for Swimtime Home Counties.</p>
