Mission

FLOATERS MISSION

Our mission is simple:

"To provide the best swimming tuition we can"

This means that:

• Every decision that we make is followed by the question "Is this the best thing for the pupils". If the answer is NO then we do not do it.
• We understand that every one is an individual, with different aspirations and abilities and deserves to be respected and treated as such. Your child is as important to us as s/he is to you.
• We are not driven to have every pupil become an Olympic champion, but if that is what they want to do, then we will give them the foundations to do so.
• We do not "train" or "coach" our pupils (that is what the swimming clubs are there for) we aim to give them the level of technique that they need to move on to a club, if that is what they want to do. Too often children move to a competitive based environment, before their technique is sustainable.
• If a Floaters pupil chooses to go swimming of their own accord (rather than because their parents have told them to) either for leisure, pleasure, competition, it is because their technique has developed to a level where they find it easy and enjoyable. This is where we know we have succeeded.
