Swimming & Water Safety
From first splash to competitive stroke — a world-class aquatics programme that builds confidence, technique, and a lifelong love of the water.
Grade 1 onwards
Confidence in the Water
Learning to swim is one of the most empowering skills a child can acquire — both for safety and for sport. At Sikri Junior Academy, we take both dimensions seriously.
Our Swimming & Water Safety programme is led by qualified swimming coaches and structured around the swimmer's individual ability. Beginners are welcomed with patience and encouragement; developing swimmers refine their stroke technique; and gifted swimmers are invited to join our competitive squad for inter-school and county-level events.
Beyond performance, we embed essential water safety awareness in every session — ensuring every learner understands how to stay safe in and around water.
- Qualified swimming instructors at every session
- Structured levels from absolute beginner to squad
- Water safety and lifesaving awareness integrated into all levels
- Inter-school and county competitive swimming events
Three Levels, One Journey
Every swimmer begins where they are and progresses at their own pace through our three-level pathway, guided by expert coaches.
Water Confidence
For learners who are new to the pool or still building comfort in the water. Small groups, patient coaching, and a focus on floating, breathing, and basic movement. No pressure — just joy.
Stroke Technique
For swimmers who can move through the water independently. This level introduces freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly technique, alongside turns, starts, and distance building.
Squad & Competition
By invitation for talented swimmers. The squad trains multiple times per week with race-pace sets, race strategy, and dryland conditioning, preparing for inter-school and county galas.
Life at the Pool
Swim Safe. Stay Safe.
Water safety is not an optional extra at Sikri Junior — it is woven into every session, every level, every learner's experience.
Safe Supervision
Qualified coaches and lifeguards present at every session, with strict learner-to-instructor ratios maintained.
Rescue Awareness
Age-appropriate water rescue and self-rescue concepts introduced across all levels — a vital life skill.
Graduated Confidence
Learners only advance when they are genuinely ready — building water confidence rather than bypassing it.
My daughter was terrified of water when she joined. Within one term she was swimming a full length unaided. The patience and professionalism of the swimming coaches here is extraordinary.
