The Somerset Swimming Academy provides a range of well-developed programmes open to the Somerset community and all members of the public, catering for all swimmers from Learn to Swim, development of Juniors, Seniors and Masters swimming.
I look forward to welcoming new swimmers to our programme and helping all our existing swimmers reach their potential.
Our programmes run out of three heated pools, with two of these covered, dedicated Learn to Swim pools.
Additional programmes at the Academy include Deep Water Running which also offers Gold Coast City Council Active and Healthy classes, as well as Holiday Clinics.
Many different sporting organisations and groups use our facilities and hire the pool(s) for course, training and competition.
The Somerset Swimming Academy offers a Learn to Swim programme focused on delivering an enjoyable familiarisation to the aquatic environment. Swimmers are taught water safety and all four swimming strokes beginning with basic stroke technique, progressing as they move through the levels.
Learn to SwimFor interested adult swimmers, there are a few programmes within the Academy to choose from, to keep fit. There is an early morning Masters programme four times a week, as well as an adult fitness squad and Deep Water Running programme.
Community ProgrammeThe training squads at the Academy are designed to test swimmers’ ability and promote both technique and speed development. Swimmers are introduced to a variety of training techniques to increase their ability.
SquadThe Junior Development (JD) classes are the next level following Learn to Swim and involves a mini squad environment. The lessons are designed to teach swimmers all four swimming strokes and improve their technique to a level appropriate for squad training.
