Carlisle swim school began in 2016 when Karen took over the running of Orton Grange pool.  It is very much a follow on from Baby and Toddlers.  Swimming lessons mainly take place on an evening between 16.00 and 19.00.  Children are placed in classes according to ability and the main focus is to develop good strong stroke technique.  Children tend to continue learning backstroke and frontcrawl from their toddler lessons and when they are showing strong confidence and good technique our teachers will move them on and teach breaststroke and butterfly.

Keeping lessons fun is a key element and our groups have no more than 8 children per class.  Carlisle swim school unique selling point is that no matter what the level of the children the teacher will always be in the water with them.
