Stacy's School of Swimming is a swimming school located in Nantwich, New Zealand. Founded by Stacy, a highly experienced and qualified swimming instructor, the school is dedicated to providing exceptional swimming lessons to individuals of all ages and abilities.
Stacy's passion for swimming began as a teenager when she started helping at a local swimming club where she also competed. In 1998, she obtained her certification as a swimming instructor and has been teaching ever since. She has gained extensive experience teaching in both the UK and Australia before establishing her own swim school in 2009.
What initially started as a small operation teaching a few eager swimmers at a chilly pool in Minster has transformed into a thriving swim school that now caters to hundreds of swimmers each week. Stacy takes great pride in her school's accomplishments and remains actively involved in teaching, lifeguarding, and engaging with both swimmers and parents. She leads a dedicated team of instructors who work alongside her.
Stacy's School of Swimming offers a comprehensive range of lessons tailored to all ages and skill levels. For children aged 3 years and under, there are under 5's lessons where the child is accompanied in the water by a qualified instructor while parents watch from the poolside. These lessons incorporate toys, games, and songs to make learning fun and engaging. The school also works towards Swim England's duckling award scheme, which helps build confidence and independence in the water.
For primary school-aged children, the school follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, which is divided into stages 1-7. These stages gradually build up the child's swimming skills and stroke techniques, ensuring they become confident and competent swimmers. The school uses the National Standard for Teaching Swimming to deliver these lessons.
Private lessons are available for those who prefer a more personalised approach. These 30-minute sessions can be booked as a one-off or on a regular, weekly basis. The instructors follow the same award scheme as the group lessons, tailoring the lessons based on the swimmer's age and ability. Private lessons can be conducted in a quieter environment with fewer swimmers in the pool, accommodating any specific needs or preferences.
The school also offers a baby swimming programme for children under 3 years old. These fun-filled classes, led by an instructor, focus on exploring water through games and songs. The school also offers Rookie Lifeguard courses, designed for children but valuable for individuals of all ages.
Stacy's School of Swimming prides itself on its flexible schedule, offering lessons 7 days a week, including daytime, after school, evening, and weekend slots. Whether you're just starting your swimming journey or seeking to enhance your existing skills, the school has lessons tailored to suit everyone.
