S4 Swim School - South Staffordshire

Our top priority is to provide a safe, relaxed and friendly learn to swim environment.

At S4 Swim School we promote continuous swimmer development and are keen to ensure there is clear effective progression for our swimmers. We can take children to a high level of swimming, specializing in advance technique and introductory coaching sessions. We believe that by instilling a basic competitive instinct this will help develop an individual for life whether they stay in the water or not!

We have also developed strong links with many aquatic based organisations to encourage our swimmers to stay in the water for longer as we recognise the fantastic physical development that can be gained from being involved in a water-based activity whatever that may be.
So what does S4 stand for?

-Streamlining
-Sculling
-Strength
-Skills

These areas are highlighted as they cover everything needed to produce swimmers with a high degree of skill & technical ability. Swimming is 70% Technique and 30% Effort! The key emphasis in S4 teaching is to allow the swimmer to learn to swim rather than be taught. This method of teaching allows the swimmer to develop a natural instinct /feel for the water.
So what does S6 stand for?

Once we feel a child has achieved a satisfactory level of swimming, demonstrating good technique /skills in all their swimming strokes, they will be invited to the S6 Swim Squad. S6 Coaching is an introduction to coaching for swimmers. It is an extension of S4 swim teaching, incorporating two coaching based disciplines Speed & Stamina.
