Welcome to the May 2023 Newsletter
Spring is well underway, we are starting to see some good weather creeping through. The odd rainy days aren’t a distant memory just yet but we are getting there!
April has been a fantastic month – we ran some super themed lessons and enjoyed seeing so many of your taking part. Our Teaching and Assisting staff all enjoyed a well-earned week off over Easter.
You can view lots of updates and pictures we share on our social media.

This week we saw lots of bunny hops into the pool, we used balls for an Easter Egg hunt practising our reflex kicking and balance on our floats. Our brave little ones had a go at a drop submersion and we saw some amazing bunny bubbles in the water.
Circus Week
Ensured we worked hard on our trapeze catamarans using our balance and core strength to move around the pool. We saw some submersions through a hoop and juggling was a fantastic effort to use our coordination.
Baby & Pre School Assessment Week.
Well done to everybody who achieved their next assessment awards.
If you haven’t already purchased your assessment certificate and badge you can do this anytime from the Stanway pool. Certificate and badge is £4.20 for both or £1.50 for just the certificate. They are a lovely little memento to pop into your little one’s keepsake folder and the badges work great on towels and blankets!
If you are missing any of the certificates, (e.g. if you achieved starfish 4, but don’t have starfish 2 & 3), you are very welcome to purchase the one(s) you are missing too, so you have a complete set.
Under the Sea
This week we used long woggles and fishing nets to catch the fish in the pools. The bubble machines ensured we had lots of bubble chasing and our submersions took us under the water to spot lots of the fish!

Academy Swimmers
All levels started the month practising their back swimming. We also worked on treading water as a contrasting activity and we saw some great results. We moved onto rotation, which teaches the children the skill of moving from front swimming to back swimming without having to use the side or any aid. This is such an important life-saving skill. Since then, they have been working towards their independent swimming, by practising their fast kicks together with their slow arms – a tricky thing for children to master!
All our other levels have been continuing to work on their breaststroke – breaking it down to ensure each part is understood and then piecing it back together. The order in which breaststroke is swum is very important, but takes time to master. We have seen some fantastic efforts so far though, even if your children have come out chanting – pull, breathe, kick, glide! Each level takes their stroke definition to a higher plane; Advanced Sea Turtles are working on their arms and then their legs, Sealions are working on this with the added breathing and stamina improvement, and Dolphins are putting all this together. It is fascinating to see how their strokes progress as they move up the classes.
We welcomed lots of our Advanced Sea Turtles to the Colchester County High for a free trial following some fantastic assessments and have been thrilled that so many of you are now enjoying this pool. If you would like more information on this pool or would like to come for a trial, do get in touch.

Looking Ahead
As we move into May our academy swimmers will continue to work on their strokes in a rotation pattern. We held a special water safety lesson at the end of April which was amazing. The children all did so well and learned some super life saving skills! .
Our baby and pre-school swimmers will continue the term with the following lesson plans:
Kings Coronation
Surf & Tugboat
Wild West
Superheroes
COMPETITION TIME
We ran a social media competition for the Kings Coronation by giving away 6 weeks worth of FREE swimming lessons
WE HAVE A WINNER!
Congratulations SAM GINNS who won 6 weeks worth of free lessons!
Thank you to everybody who entered and keep an eye on our social media pages for future competitions.
Another reminder of our recommend-a-friend scheme. If you have a friend and they would like to join lessons, if they purchase a block of six lessons, then we will credit you with two free lessons! There is no limit on how many friends you can recommend either!

Private Hire
The pools in Lexden and Stanway are available for private hire!
Enjoy our beautifully warm pools all to yourself or share some swim time with a friend or family. There is a maximum of 4 adults and 4 children for any booking in most cases. The pool is exclusively yours for one hour, including changing time. We offer private hire as a one-off ad-hoc event or a repeated booking at the same time every week for 6 weeks. The benefit of booking in blocks of 6 is that firstly it’s cheaper per session and secondly your slot is reserved for you for the weeks beyond your 6 weeks. We always give our regular slot bookers first opportunity to book again before the slot is released for others to book in.
All £50 for one hour

May Private Lessons
We often get asked for private swimming lessons. The reason for parents choosing private tuition for their children can be varied, although mostly it is to improve a child’s confidence or to work on a particular stroke. You may also find a private lesson (or a course of them) useful prior to going on holiday or to the child starting swimming at school.
Whatever your objectives, each of our half hour long private classes is held by one of our fully qualified instructors who will tailor the class exactly to your child’s needs. The classes can be booked as one-off sessions, and in Colchester only, can also be booked as a course (to be taken over consecutive weeks), which represents a small saving overbooking the classes individually.
Cost for private lessons
One child- £33.00 per lesson, or £185 for 6 booked together. You can check availability and book using the link below.

First baby swim
It has been a very busy month for First Baby Swim sessions and we loved welcoming Eric, Lily, Barney, Morgan, Digby, Darcy, Madeleine, Florence, Amelia, Ernest, Harley, Jude, Gracyn, Milo, Bray, Rory, Hugo, Sabriel, Myles, Arthur, Arlen, Lucas and Oscar to Mini Swimming. They each enjoyed a private swim to start and are now booked into group classes. If you have a little one due or recently born we would love to welcome you too! Just give us a call and we can talk you through exactly what the first baby swim package is all about.

Hall of Fame
All our teachers are constantly looking for children in their classes who have achieved something for the first time or made a special effort in their classes. These special moments should be rewarded and our Hall of Fame is dedicated to our Swimmers of the Week, Highlights of the Week, and Teacher Awards. We try to take as many pictures as we can, but if your child has had an award and we didn’t manage to get a snap, we would love it if you can share their photo with their certificate with us so we can add them to the hall of fame.
You will see that we have fantastic new selfie frames at each of the pools too –
Please remember to tag us in all of your photos – @mini__swimming_colchester @mini__swimming_chelmsford
