Minnows
Coached by Stevie and Andy
Minnows are non-swimmers and are mostly four years old. They
have half-hour lessons on Saturday mornings at Dorking Leisure
Centre. There are usually two consecutive mixed-ability groups
starting at 8:00 and 8:30 am.
Teachers are Stevie and Andy and they work with the children in
the pool. Sometimes other Clubteachers stand in for them. Older
squad members come regularly to assist and parents sit around the
pool to watch. The aim is to introduce children to swimming and
water skills in an atmosphere that is friendly and fun, encouraging
them to progress at their own pace while working towards badges and
certificates that represent their achievement.
Once the children are able to swim 10m they are usually invited
to join the Shrimps group of Dorking Swimming Club. Shrimps are
taught on Thursdays (Club Night) at Dorking Sports
Centre from 6-6:30pm where contact with the rest of the club is
developed.
