Joanne invites everyone to Splash and Swim, a trusted swimming school in Whitley Bay. Catering to all ages, the school offers lessons at locations such as Woodlawn School, Beacon Hill School, Percy Hedley School, and Benfield Sports Centre, making it convenient for local residents.
For the tiniest swimmers aged 0–36 months, Joanne's Little Splashers programme provides a gentle, parent-and-baby introduction to water, fostering confidence and bonding. Toddlers aged 3–4 years can join the Little Swimmers classes, focusing on play and movement, without needing a parent in the water.
Children aged 3 and up can enrol in Splash and Swim, where they progress under the national Learn to Swim award scheme from Swim England. Parents can watch from poolside as their children gain skills and confidence in the water.
More advanced young swimmers, who can already swim 20 metres, might be interested in the Sharks programme. These weekly sessions focus on honing techniques, building stamina, and learning skills like diving, water polo, and lifesaving.
Adults aren't left out either. Joanne's Synergy Development programme helps improve strokes, breathing techniques, and even conquer water fears. For those aiming to refine their skills and stamina further, Synergy Fit offers specialised sessions with limited swimmers per lane for optimal space and focus.
Joanne's team of instructors, all accredited with Swim England – ASA Level 1 and 2 qualifications and lifesaving certification, ensures a safe learning environment. Each has passed thorough DBS checks. Lessons are held in hydrotherapy pools with higher temperatures, helping children stay focused.
Parents and guardians often commend Joanne and her instructors, like Sonya, for their engaging and patient teaching styles that build young swimmers' confidence.
Joanne's commitment ensures excellent swimming lessons for all ages, providing a safe and enjoyable environment to build water confidence.
