Whilst the most important thing about swimming teaching is what is being taught, having the right pool can significantly help. If a pupils is afraid of the depth of the water, if its is too noisy to hear properly, if basic teaching is in lanes (and so on), the learning process will be slow and not enjoyable.

We have amongst the best teaching teaching pools available to us in Sussex.
