Saffron-Elise spent her early swim teaching career teaching in many different swim schools and leisure centres, assisting swimming teachers as well as teaching along side them.

She learnt a lot in those early years and realised one thing with the swimming lessons she taught, there were a lot of students per teacher and there was not a lot of swimming happening nor was she able to support individual children who needed it.

Not wanting this to be the case in her swim school she decided to offer group lessons with just 4 students in her beginner classes and slowly increasing the amount of students as they progress, gain confidence and improve to just 7 students in the advanced lessons. This meant that she could focus on each student in the class, catering to their needs more easily but also ensure each child was able to swim a lot more in their lesson.

Further more as the children progressed and their swimming improves it was a task to be able to get the children to meet and achieve the required standard for the higher stages so after some brainstorming it was decided to increase all Level 5 and above lessons to 45 minutes to allow more time for technique work that is needed.

We also run a child centred approach to all our lessons from our babies through to our Junior lessons. This is to allow children to unfold in their own way at their own pace and to feel empowered.
