What & Why & How of the Fast Track
What: The Fast Track is an intensive course where swimmers attend for a 45 minute lesson each day.
Why: Compressed lesson experiences (5 lessons in a week; up to 4 hours swimming in 5 days) can often result in accelerated results and achievements, and can also more-quickly consolidate skills learning.
How: As with any well-delivered swim education programme, the course should include a range of activities appropriate to age and ability level of the swimmers. However, any course should also be driven by a recurring theme than runs throughout the week and arises every day. A course can contain 2 themes, examples of themes:
- Focus on 1 or 2 strokes
- Focus on aspects of technical aspects or generic technical elements in strokes of how to perform strokes; i.e. Body Positioning, Streamlining, Leg Kicking, Arm Pulling etc.
- Focus on subsidiary skills; Diving, Watermanship etc.
- Focus on key elements that have been identified as requiring attention in usual weekly lessons.
Overview:
- Initial re-assessment on the first day of the course to check what the children need to work on for the rest of the week.
- 5 days of thrills and skills
- Excites and delights and lots of fun
- Includes tests, challenges and targets each day
- Daily updates from teachers on progress made each day by the swimmers
All delivered in a LIVELY manner!

I am hugely impressed with the high quality of the course. The teachers communicate brilliantly with the children. The way the session is structured allows the swimmers to develop stamina. We have since signed my son up for weekly lessons with the swim school.

Excellent swimming lessons. I can tell how my daughter has improved her swimming and is more confident in the water. She has been talking about doing another holiday course in the next half term when available, which shows that she really enjoyed it.
