| Swimming Groups based at the Knights Templar School indoor pool in Watchet, West Somerset |
|
The Dolphins has a policy of continuous movement between groups throughout the year as performances improve. Most groups take Personal Survival awards at their level of ability. As a general recommendation, children progress noticeably better if they have two sessions a week - it gives them less time to forget in between ! A very few can benefit from more if it appears beneficial to their development. Approximate targets for each group in school year 2007/2008 are: |
|
Level A |
Initially unable to swim. Most will progress to earn their 10 metre badge and National Level 3 before moving on. |
Thursdays 4.45pm to 5.30pm Saturdays 4.00pm to 4.45pm Sundays 4.00pm to 4.45pm |

| All Dolphins groups operate according to ability and not age and I will always listen to appeals for "promotion". Please let me know if you are unhappy with any of the arrangements; I try to be as accommodating as possible - but it can't always be perfect ! |
