Verulam Swimming Club

Verulam Swimming Club runs a Learn-to-Swim Programme using the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming. Val Chapman and Faith Nicholson have taught hundreds of children to swim, many are still swimming and competing with the club. Val and Faith like getting wet too! They teach in the water with lots of help from qualified swimmers from the club, so new and less confident swimmers get the attention they need.

Children can join at any time after their fifth birthday. The first lesson is free and after a brief assessment, swimmers begin at an appropriate level. To encourage and support children, we offer the Kellogg's ASA Awards Scheme of badges and certificates.

When?	Half hour lessons on Sunday afternoon, from 4.30-6.30.
Where?	Learner pool at Westminster Lodge
How much?	Lessons are £90 for 6 months, plus an annual ASA fee of £12.90.

Verulam Swimming Club provides swimming opportunities for all, at a level that is both appropriate and gradually progressive in standard. We place strong emphasis on teaching and developing swimming skills, and provide competition to suit all. This is achieved through Internal Time Trials, Intra Club Galas, Club Champs, Chiltern, Peanuts, Herts and Speedo Swimming Leagues, Open Meets (Novice, Sprint and Long Distance) and County Champs (BAGCATS.)

Swimmers interested in joining can come along for a trial with a coach. Their stamina, stroke and diving abilities will be assessed to see which of our three groups (Juniors, Intermediates or Seniors) would best suit them.  As swimmers progress and improve they move through the groups. We also have competitive squads for each of the three groups with their own dedicated training sessions.

At Verulam we have a strong coaching team led by Zofia Kozien. We also promote our own swimmers and parents to become involved in teaching and coaching, on a voluntary basis and through professional ASA courses. Find out more about the team in who's who.

When?	Sessions last between 45 minutes and 2 hours and upto 5 nights a week. See our timetable
Where?	Training takes place at Westminster Lodge and Marlborough School Pools
How Much?	Fees are £135 for 6 months, plus an anuual ASA fee of £28.50.
